Divine Liturgy

[Crusading_Canuk]

Hi, recently I have been reading into the traditions of my Eastern Catholic and Orthodox brethren. I was wondering, does the Divine Liturgy (that is the correct term for an Eastern Mass right?) have any differences between rites of Eastern Catholics; or between different groups of Orthodox like the Eastern, Russian and Oriental Orthodox other than (liturgical?) language used?

Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom is the full name for the Byzantine Rite.

There are differences of translations used. The Melkites only use the spoon for the Presanctified Liturgy. They give the Eucharist by intinction. They cut the Body into longer rectangles rather than cubes.

Music is different by recession.

The Melkites also (at least the parish I attend) chant the Beatitudes rather than doing the Third Antiphon.

The Prayers before Communion is a Slavic thing (I know we Ruthenians do it, I think the Ukrainians do it also but not 100% positive), the Melkites do not do it.

You mean this one?

I believe, O Lord, and confess that You are truly Christ, the Son of the living God, Who came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first. Accept me this day, O son of God, as a partaker of Your mystical Supper. I will not tell the mystery to Your enemies, nor will I give You a kiss as did Judas, but like the thief, I confess to You:
Remember me, O Lord, when You come into Your kingdom.
Remember me, O Master, when You come into Your kingdom,
Remember me, O Holy One, when You come into Your kingdom.
May the partaking of Your Holy Mysteries, O Lord, be unto me not for judgment or condemnation but for the healing of the soul and body.
God, be merciful to me a sinner.
God, cleanse me of my sins and have mercy on me.
I have sinned without number, forgive me, O Lord.

Yes.

That is my favorite part of the Divine Liturgy. One reason I prefer going to DL nowadays.

Oh, and yes, the Ukrainians do use it.
