God Bless you for posting this Mass. I just watched it with my 89 year old mother. She had tears in her eyes. We cannot climb the stairs to go to our church anymore. Thanks again.
I just *LOVE* that this is a Church Slavonic Divine Liturgy. These are few and far between anymore. Certainly a gem of a video. Definitely putting this in my favorites.
Friendly neighbourhood Protestant from 8 years in the future here. Love these liturgies. Wish they'd have taught more of their young people Slavonic so that these were more common.
Br.Andrew P Iverson,OSF Thank you! I am not sure if you know whether Byzantine Catholic priests can marry? Or if they are initially married, they can become a priest? I know it's a discipline of the Roman Rite, but I was not sure of Byzantines. Bless you!
Very Revered Father Ed, even if you are not at St Mary's in body, you will always be there... giving thanks and praying for us and the whole world. You demand the best we each are capable of, and guide us along that. Your focus is on your flock, in all our physical and spiritual needs, but always pointing us to the Lord. You have touched the hearts and souls of many and many, and they touch the souls of others, and so on. God remember Fr Ed in all of his ministry, he is your servant. And I humbly thank you for having him as our shepherd
Very Very BEAUTIFUL! I used to go to a Byzantine Catholic Church in Meriden, Connecticut. The number of people going there got very small so they closed the church! I miss it greatly!!!
I really don't see any major difference: roman, byzantine etc all the same to me- same faith, same tradition. We are all catholics. I feel at home wherever I go. Indeed the Church bride of Jesus stands on the Rock!
I'd be surprised if there weren't. The northeast and midwest USA is the heartland of the Rusyn-American population, but warmer states like CA, AZ and FL have transplanted Rusyn communities.
Seven years late to the discussion, but as this is the internet, I know you're all dying to hear the opinion of some anonymous guy from some unknown corner of the globe. The Christian religion is certainly about love. That is, the love of God: a desire to worship Him in a manner in which He deems fit, honouring God's Truth, defending that Truth and refuting error. God calls us to do that, but he even specifies how we are to do that: in meekness and in gentleness of spirit. Some discord and contention is inevitable and it isn't to be avoided at the cost of speaking God's Truth, but when one's words are meant to inflame rather than correct, then that person is not honouring God in his conduct. God is Holy and his wrath is to be feared. Think of that before you go to the keyboard!!!
If anyone knew or actually did research, they'd know that all the eastern rites (speaking of Othodox not the United Churches) are recognized as VALID rites by the Church (Latin Roman Rite/Vatican). They're just believed to be in schism because of the rejection of the Popes primacy so using their rite is not acceptable for your Sunday duty. However, the Novus Ordo of the so called "Church of the new advent" is NOT a valid rite because the words of consecration are changed to say "for all" and not "for the many" in the vernacular. Directly against Pope St. Pius V and his bull Quo Primum. The only mass that keeps the words true and correct, that I have seen, is the true Latin Rite (in Latin) and the Byzantine Rite/Melkite (either in the vernacular or Greek).
A pity. This was recorded in 2013, so hopefully whomever recorded this has better equipment now, if he or she is still extant. A Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic church in my region still uses an even crappier mic to record liturgies. They're situated in a pretty affluent neighbourhood, so I'm sure members of the parish can afford to donate better equipment.

Truly beautiful. Would love to learn more of the Byzantine liturgy!

looks beatiful i wonder if there is any here in Central California
I'd be surprised if there weren't. The northeast and midwest USA is the heartland of the Rusyn-American population, but warmer states like CA, AZ and FL have transplanted Rusyn communities.
I thought church and god was supposed to be about love not arguing who is right or wrong? Love Father Ed
thats what i thought too, but "orthodox brothers" are saltier then the pacific

The Byzantine Catholic Church is in communion with Rome, and is not in schism.
What about Church Slavonic?
terrible sound

pews...sigh...
The mother church of the Ruthenian Byzantine Catholics in Uzhhorod in Ukraine, Exaltation of the Holy Cross Cathedral, has pews.
