This document discusses the origins and meanings of Easter from different perspectives. It notes that Easter celebrations have roots in pagan spring equinox festivals, Jewish Passover traditions, and later Christian traditions focused on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. From a Spiritist view, Easter is not about rituals or dogmas, but can be a time for reflection on Jesus' teachings of morality when he reincarnated on Earth. Spiritism sees Easter as a spiritual transformation towards developing perfection by leaving behind vices and selfishness.

God created all spirits as equals. While spirits take on different situations in successive lives on Earth to progress, gaining varying degrees of experience and development, this diversity stems from each spirit's free will and amount of experience over multiple lifetimes, not natural inequality. True Spiritism and Christianity both preach charity for all people regardless of beliefs, as love and justice for our neighbors completes the moral law. Diversity in aptitudes among individuals does not come from how spirits were initially created but how much they have evolved.
Love your Neighbour - A Spiritist View
The document discusses the importance of loving one's neighbor according to spiritual teachings. It cites the Bible verse that loving God and loving one's neighbor as oneself are the two greatest commandments. Spiritist texts explain that love is the finest sentiment that summarizes Jesus' complete doctrine. Selfishness is identified as the root of all vices, and spirits purify themselves of selfishness through successive lives. To truly love one's neighbor, individuals must think less of their own interests and realize that others have thought of them too. Loving one's neighbor expresses the most complete form of charity by summarizing all of man's obligations towards his fellow men.
Gratitude
This document discusses the concept of gratitude from a Spiritist perspective. It defines gratitude as appreciating kindness and recognizing that good things come from others. Cultivating gratitude involves focusing on what one has and valuing what comes from others. Expressing gratitude through letter writing is associated with improved mental and physical health. In contrast, ingratitude stems from selfishness and causes disappointment. The document encourages developing an attitude of gratitude to transform difficulties into opportunities for growth.
Prayer - Importance, Effectiveness and Action
The document discusses the importance, effectiveness, and understanding of prayer. It explains that prayer strengthens one's ability to resist evil and receive help from good spirits. While specific words are not important, directing one's thoughts to higher powers with confidence and conviction is meaningful. Prayer establishes a fluidic connection that allows thoughts to be transmitted from one being to another, whether on Earth or in the spirit world. The document provides perspectives on prayer from Spiritism and other religious texts.
Knowing Yourself
This document discusses the importance of self-knowledge from a Spiritist perspective. It asserts that knowing oneself is the most effective way to guarantee self-improvement and resist wrongdoing. It recommends regularly examining one's conscience and actions to identify flaws and areas for reform. Self-knowledge is seen as an ongoing process of spiritual transformation that allows one to correct errors and develop in a positive manner according to spiritual teachings. The document provides biblical passages and quotes from Spiritist works to support these ideas.

English - The Book of Ruth - King James Bible.pdf
The Book of Ruth is included in the third division, or the Writings, of the Hebrew Bible. In most Christian canons it is treated as one of the historical books and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Easter A Spiritist View
- 2. Celebrations around spring Pagan celebrates on spring equinox Ostara Jewish celebrates the Passover Christians celebrates the Easter
- 3. Easter Celebrations This period’s celebration is rooted on Judaism and later absorbed by Christians. After many influences we see appearance of multiple symbolisms. A celebration that nowadays almost do not relate with the true meaning of the Easter.
- 5. Spiritism and Easter “…I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” “Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “ this means my body with is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” Luke 22:15-16/19
- 6. Spiritism and Easter “Spiritism does not institute any new morals; it only makes it easier for mankind to understand and practise Christ's morals by giving an unshakable and enlightened faith…” The Gospel According to Spiritism - Chapter XVII - item 4
- 7. Spiritism and Easter Spiritist teachings codified by Allan Kardec has no dogmas, rituals, celebrations and commemorations. Spiritism helps to understand the events of Jesus teaching when reincarnated on Earth. For the Spiritist Easter is like any other period of the year, can be a moment of reflection, study and reaffirmation our compromise with Jesus’s teachings.
- 8. Spiritism and Easter Easter can be interpreted as our release of the human tendency of selfishness, in contribution to our self-development path towards perfection. It’s a spiritual transformation, leaving our old habits, mistakes, vices, greed and etc. behind and walk towards to a life with more plenitude and spiritual connection.
- 9. Spiritism and Easter Celebrate Easter. Yours one, as in your transformation towards to a life full off plenitude.
