@MrCatholicforever YES! As a Roman Catholic you are allowed to recieve communion in any eastern catholic church for we ALL are in communion with Rome and to say your name is not really necessary but if you want just say "Servant/Handmaiden of God NAME", or simply "NAME". Hope that helps. :)

God Bless our Eastern brethren! It's such a shame that we are so ignorant of these beautiful rites within the one, true Church!

I am part of the Rio de Janeiro Eparchy of St. Basil. I am happy to see it spread all over Brazil. We already have parishes in Rio, Sao Paulo, Taubate, in Fortaleza ( Northeast of Brazil) , Juiz de Fora ( Minas Gerais ) and Belo Horizonte! We are growing steadily and in with vigor,( already 400,000 participants) thanks to our Lord and Our Lady of Perpetual Help. God Bless you and thank for this beautiful video.

@catholicpeter Yes, I'm in north america. Luckily, I'm in Houston so I was finally able to attend DL of St. John Chrysostom again.

@brndurham Very good to hear brother. Yes, unfortunately there are few Eastern Rite Churches in North America (assuming that is your location). I attend DL of St Chrysostom at Ukrainian Church or Trent Latin Rite Mass. Both are so beautiful! I see in recent years a return to mystical and proper Liturgical practice and canon law in both Eastern and Western Churches. The youth demand orthodoxy of Faith and Morals, the age of rebellion is over I hope. Praise to Lord Jesus Christ!

I am a Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic, but I attend Roman Mass; there are no other Byzantine parishes within literally a hundred miles of me. However, I always use our eastern liturgical books for praying the Hours in my home (Horologion, Menologion, Octeothos, etc.)

@catholicpeter , You can say that again " Thank God im Catholic "

[catholicpeter]

@greekismyreligion Hello Melkite. I am Byzantine rite Ukrainian Greek Catholic. Yes, we have complete freedom (and are highly encouraged) to practice the Divine Liturgy, use our own canon law, etc, provided we have the same Faith. as the rest of the Catholic Church. I thank God that I am Catholic.

The Church is one, holy, catholic, apostolic. I am so sick of the bullshit that places culture and national history above a unity of piety and faith. The Catholic Church exists of all sorts of liturgy, canon law and languages. The mystical unity is what makes it beautiful. There are many Latins to go crazy when there is mention of Greek Fathers or DL. However, there are very many Greeks who put their culture upon the pedestal. Come to the visible unity of the Church!
