Weekend In My Life - Speak Out Illinois 2022, My First Byzantine Divine Liturgy + More

[@country_diamond8766]

Yes I forgot how different the singing and standing in Divine Liturgy is compared to Latin Rite 😅 I'm glad you liked it

[@dimitrap5615]

As an Orthodox Christian, I approve 😂 so glad you liked the Byzantine liturgy 💖

[@Melvin_Thoma]

In the East, all sacraments of initiation (baptism, chrismation, and 1st holy communion) are given to babies. So don't be shocked to see little kids recieve communion. This was the practice in the Church for the first 1200 years. It's the Latin Church that shifted from the norm. And started to give confirmation & Eucharist at age of reason.

[@rose_brier]

Yay I'm so excited!!! I've always wanted to experience a Byzantine Catholic Mass!!! Also who's excited for Lent???

[@juansalazar6849]

What a beautiful church, I've seen it in another KZbin channel before, I think one of the priests there is the artist who painted the beautiful icons.

1:15 You know somebody is really Catholic when you have more than 5 rosaries in your room! Great Video Amber!

[@TheReligiousHippie]

Thank you!!

If you were actually intelligent woman you would know that The Roman Catholic church is Pagan and the Italian Mafia was founded by The Roman Paganism Catholic Church and the Secret Societie of The Jesuits is a dark Occult society that runs the Catholic Church and The Rothschild Family are The Globalist Banker's that Run the Treasury wealth of the Vatican

[@dianaramae3030]

1:15 I was really fascinated with your rosaries behind you. I dont know if you have already made a video of showing them to us, but if havent yet, can you show us a closer look of your rosaries on your next video and where'd you get them? 😍

[@jps8773]

So glad I found you on Instagram! I really like your posts and videos. I hope your seasonal depression is lifting as well, spring is almost here!

[@andysmith790]

Oh my goodness, I just found this video, and what an amazing cat you have. Wow, you are truly an inspiration, and yes yes so good to see young people that are caring for the human rights of the ones in the womb. You are such a sweet soul God bless you!!✝️

[@abdulbermudez4071]

Hey Amber it's one of your followers Abdul! I wanted to take this time to appreciate your content.. I am a college student your age who's about to graduate and honestly speaking college hasn't exactly been the smoothest ride for me. Like many people I drifted away from the church and made some poor choices. I was pretty lost throughout many years of my life in college and only now am I starting to repent and make a return to the church. I wanted to appreciate you and your channel for the encouragement for me to return to the church and lead on the right direction. I personally believe graduating will be a second opportunity for me to raise my children closer to God.

[@TheReligiousHippie]

Thats amazing! It makes me happy to hear that thank you sm!

[@shotbycjm]

I just stumbled on this video and it so cool that you went to Annunciation! My Uncle is the deacon over at Annunciation! If you want to visit some other Byzantine Catholic parishes there are 3 in Northwest Indiana, my parish is one of them :)

[@vesnastihovic7014]

I'm so glad that you went to Byzantine Divine Liturgy.. 🙏

[@allegrahanda6567]

Loved the video:) I’ve always wanted to attend a Byzantine liturgy and now I want to even more

[@alyssac6395]

How cool! I also went to my first Divine Liturgy on New Years Eve.. and met Veronica and Maciej! I’ve been following you for a while but just recently realized you were from the Chicago area. I hope you have a blessed Lent. My prayers are with you, keep letting your light shine bright! 💛

[@alyssac6395]

Aww I watched a little longer and realized that I met a lot of other people featured in your video for that matter! All very, very lovely people. What a wonderful community to have!! Peace ✝️

[@uriel6873]

I like how peaceful your mornings are. I’ve gotten used to waking up to trap music or people arguing since I live with multiple roommates, your peace is almost releaving.

[@TheReligiousHippie]

Awe 🥺🥺 one day i hope u have peace while waking up😅

[@johncollorafi257]

Hi, I'm really happy that you liked the Byzantine Divine Liturgy. It is as authentic as the Latin. It's like becoming acquainted with some wonderful branch of your family, that you didn't even know existed. I grew up on the Latin but in the late sixties, when attending the Tridentine was like going up the down staircase. Nice to see that a younger generation is rehabilitating Tradition on both the eastern and Latin side.

[@davidmorse1660]

So happy you went to an Eastern Rite Liturgy. I'm Byzantine Rite.

[@adamts131]

What a coincidence, I also went to my first byzantine liturgy this weekend 😁 i love it 💞

[@Justme-qv7wu]

As an Orthodox convert to Catholicism I love people appreciating the Byzantine (and all the Eastern) tradition. You should try out more services when and if possible

[@___-_____-]

Did you know that the eastern Catholics mere existence refutes Catholic teaching in regards to unity and that the pope is a unifying figure?

Nope they doctrinally and dogmatically agree with the roman catholic church even if disciplines are different

Amber, my wife and I discovered your channel the other day and enjoyed this video! I am an Indie Catholic Singer-Songwriter. I play guitar, ukulele and banjo. I have three albums finished so far. If you want to use one of my songs in your video just let me know! Peace

[@MarieMeishu]

I believe that I've been to the same Byzantine Church that you went to! My dad and I go to this one once in a while and it's absolutely beautiful and much more reverent compared to the Novus Ordo church my family belongs to. I loved how the priest had the children come sit up front and close during the Homily and how being there really felt like Heaven on Earth! As of late, I've really been interested in sticking to tradition and going to different churches and I've really been inspired by you actually to grow closer to God and truly dive deeper into the faith. Hopefully I'll get the chance go to a TLM church soon!

[@nicoleyoshihara4011]

Yay! New video!^_^❤

[@charlief.]

The Byzantine liturgy looks exactly like a Greek Orthodox liturgy. Very cool.

[@me-bi5dd]

Nice presentation again

[@eprohoda]

Greetings. thank yu~top , 🙌

You should try the Syriac liturgy next!✨

Hi, Amber! So is the cat’s name spelled SOX, in honor of the White Sox, or the more traditional SOCKS?

[@TheReligiousHippie]

Sox bc its easier to spell but its bc he has little socks on his feet

[@jjrevab1118]

@@TheReligiousHippie Cool! I take it you are not much of a baseball fan…

[@stephaniedelacruz8447]

Can you make a video on scrupulosity?

[@danieleduardoer]

The important thing is to belong to the true church, the feeling is not everything. If one feels good, great, but the priority is that the liturgy be valid, as well as the ministers. Greetings, I like your videos. 🤗

Hey Amber

[@termite7790]

good job God bless you.

[@theodorashukin4895]

The Byzantine Catholic church looks so much like Orthodox churches (I'm Orthodox)! And everything else you said about it is so similar or exactly like what I know.

[@angelagilmartin2109]

Hey! Quick question - is it me or is your steering wheel on the “British” side?! 🤔

[@godsstrength7129]

Video is mirrored.

That’s what I thought! My better half said that didn’t make sense 😂 but there you go…👍🏼

[@vt1527]

Such a nice vlog! I usually don´t like vlogs, but I really enjoy yours :) Just a not on the the Starbucks Logo: it´s not Lilith, but simply a mermaid with two fins, or rather a siren (as in greek mythology and maritime folk tales in general). Not that that changes much about how the company works and what it does, but I don´t like it when misinformation like that gets spread

[@tarajones-legros3661]

So cute that she say Byzantine with a “v”.😊 Of course now I’m wondering if she says it correctly and I am saying it wrong🤷🏻‍♀️

[@birdman9265]

Dry shampoo would definitely help so you don't have to wash so frequently.

Sadly it doesnt work for my hair ive tried sleeping in it and things it just looks awful😭😂
