The liturgical language used by the Maronites is Syriac, which is a dialect of Aramaic. Whether or not it is the dialect that Jesus spoke is beyond me. My Syriac skills aren’t where they should be…

It isn’t. Jesus spoke Galilean Aramaic. Prof. Fr. Amar says, however, that the differences are very superficial. I don’t know much Syriac, but from what I’ve seen the differences could be described more as an accent than what we would think of as a dialect.
