Here are a few resources to help your Easter observation embody the values of Jesus: mercy, compassion, love, and justice towards all people, creatures, and creation.

The Wisdom of Jesus

Enjoy two podcasts from Father John Dear on the teachings of Jesus. Whether you are Christian or not, they will nourish your heart and mind. Check them out:

• The Beatitudes of Nonviolence

• The Nonviolent Sermon on the Mount

Also, consider reading these inspiring quotes from Jesus.

Plant-Based Easter

While we celebrate Jesus, who embodied the values of unconditional love, nonviolence, compassion, and justice, we invite you to consider how our Easter celebrations can embody these values in the food we share.
