Wonderful piece, may Father Aleksandr be with us all ♥️
For sure the amoral covid worshipping infiltrators of the church are not a force for good, how we could do with more like Father Aleksandr 🙏 and sweep away those so eloquently depicted in Bob's work of art...
What a profoundly beautiful piece of writing Abi. I could feel the love for Fr Aleksandr in every line. The heartbreak of losing such a wonderful man in such brutal circumstances must’ve been horrendous, however, you were so lucky to be baptised by him and I’m sure there was something special in that holy water as you are such an amazing person who battles for so many of us despite the personal cost to you. I appreciate everything you have done and continue to do, and thank you for bringing the wonderful substack family together. Fr Aleksandr would be so proud of you. God bless you Abi x
Excellent as always Abi. Such an interesting and exciting time in your life and beautifully captured in your writing. Whist you were listening to Kate Bush,Peter Gabriel,Chicago and Elton John in Russia,I was listening to the same stuff at the same time in the trainee nurses humble accommodation in Dunfermline.......I’m sure I must’ve worn out my Chicago LP 😂 God Bless Father Aleksandr xx
So great to hear your story and journey Abi. I am reading a book currently called Terrain Therapy which is really having a profound affect on me, I too believe we are beyond petitions and bringing the evil tyrants to 'justice'. 'They' will have to answer to God, that is where justice will be served, or otherwise. Anyway back to the book, written by Ulric Williams nearly 90 years ago (1st edition), there is a passage in the book which came to mind when I read your blog and we need to understand it, here is the passage:
'It is relevant to note that the world is now at the dawning of a new millennium - a circumstance directly connected with the present World Epoch of cosmic accelerating intensity. This epoch is moving daily nearer a Crisis. A grand-scalr Reaction impends - a mass clean up, with heavy mortality and discharge of diseased and spiritually dead individuals, or "cells."
As with bodies sick into death, the Adamic "patient" will be brought desperately low in the process - to the very verge of extinction. It will appear for a time like the end of all law and order: the triumph or anarchy. It is the fluxing of the old evil order, preparatory to the inmoving of the new.'
Wow, Abi, that was beautifully written and made me shed a few tears! How wonderful for you to have those experiences and get to know Fr Aleksandr. The fight between good and evil is so very real. Thank you for being a beacon of light and for standing up for decency and goodness. (And for the comedy and funny accents!😂)
Beautiful Abi. I find myself weeping in church rather a lot at the moment. But we will win in the end. God is on our side. If God is for me who can be against me? Xxxx
When Bishop Mar Mari was stabbed in the eye it felt like my world stopped. It was the worst news I had ever seen. He eventually lost his eye, but he has retured to preaching at his church in Fairfield.
Thank you Abi, a moving testament to a wonderful man and the light he shone in the world. I was agnostic until a few years ago but I have been re evaluating everything. This is a spiritual battle, a fight between good and evil. Every day I am baffled and sad that most people I know just seem to have forgotten everything that has happened and think all is now ok. Thank you and the Substack family for being amazing. xx

Beautifully written, what a wonderful journey 💖🥰
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing that Abi.

So lovely Abi xx
Oh Abi , I wish I could spell that sound you make when you read out something powerful and moving . Anyway , that 🙏💕

Abi Roberts you've taken me aback mightily. What a life you've led & are leading.
You're also a living Saint. There with your humour lighting this terribly darkened world.
Abi you are also 100% correct in that it truly is time to stop all of the waffling twattery goin on.
Meeting after meeting. Forums upon forums. Petitions signed ad infinitum.
All a complete waste of time & close to mindless effort. PEOPLE WAKE THE FUCK UP.
Elections are coming up in UK. Get off your arses & VOTE. Do something positive.
Before you vote. Take a little time to read my take on how to rid us of the current politicoturds.

I found footage of Madame Bella singing. As to be expected, she was magnificent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnC0OYeirUo
Dearest Abi. Very belated Happy Othodox Easter! Christ is Risen! 1Love!
