As you know sister, your Church's theology Preaches that you ARE the Catholic Church
Yes, but we would generally not call ourselves the Catholic Church of the East at it implies that we are part of the Roman Catholic church. We would call ourselves the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, but that should not be confused with the Catholic Church.

Gracious Father, we pray for thy holy Catholic Church. Fill it with all truth, in all truth with all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in any thing it is amiss, reform it. Where it is right, strengthen it; where it is in want, provide for it; where it is divided, reunite it; for the sake of Jesus Christ thy Son our Savior. Amen.

Christ is risen from the dead and with His death He destroyed death and to those in grave He gave life
To You, O' Christ - the Champion Leader and Lord, the Conqueror of Hades, I, Your creature and servant, offer a song of praise, for You have delivered me from eternal death. But as You have ineffable loving-kindness, deliver me from all dangers that can be, that I may cry to You: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, have mercy on me.
Eastern Orthodox - specifically Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Even more specifically the Holy Metropolis of Atlanta under the Omophorion of His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios of Atlanta.
