The Resurrection of Christ God.

Because of personal issues and especially because of profound grief for my Ukrainian sisters and brothers, no, I'm not at church for the Resurrection Liturgy.

I love my Faith. I understand it. It makes spiritual sense to me.

My soul is so anguished by the fratricide in Ukraine.
