The Catholic Church sees the liturgy, the celebration of the Mystery of Christ, in particular the Paschal Mystery of his death and resurrection, as the high point of its activity and the source of its life and strength.
Involved in the heavenly liturgy are the angels and the saints of the Old Covenant and the New, in particular Mary, the Mother of God, the Apostles, the Martyrs and "a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues" (Revelation 7:9).
An earlier name for the Liturgy of the Hours and for the books that contained the texts was the Divine Office (a name still used as the title of one English translation), the Book of Hours, and the Breviary.

 The Byzantine Forum: Question # 3 on New Translation of Liturgy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Since the Divine Liturgy of Saint Basil was shortened by Holy Father Saint John Chrysostom it was given the new name of the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom.
The Liturgies of Saints Basil and Chrysostom were written before their were antiphons as we know them, and they are used in other rights where they are set in an entirely different context such that we would not recognize them.
So, the Liturgy of Saint John Chysostom has the same number of prayers as the Liturgy of Saint Basil, but each prayer is shorter; since the Ruthenian Metropolia is not abridging the priestly prayers, they are not creating a new Liturgy.

That St. Basil composed a liturgy, or rather reformed an existing liturgy, is beyond doubt, since besides the constant tradition of the Byzantine Church there are many testimonies in ancient writings to establish the fact.
In a treatise on the tradition of the Divine liturgy attributed to St. Proclus, Patriarch of Constantinople (434-466), it is stated that when St. Basil noticed the slothfulness and degeneracy of men, how they were wearied by the length of the liturgy, he shortened it in order to cure their sloth (P.G., LXV, 849).
The liturgy may be divided into the Mass of the catechumens and the Mass of the faithful.

Following the erinika (the first set of eleven petitions) in the Divine Liturgy, the priest directs the faithful to turn the attention of their souls to the heavenly kingdom, the place of our Father who is glorified by all the saints.
The saints though, are not people of the past, but our contemporaries in worship; for the Church is made up of those that are living (the Church militant) and those who have come before us, the saints and the heavenly powers (the Church Triumphant).
