Fr. Nathan discusses the Compassionate Responses from The story of Don and First Responder Ralph.

 -No Judgment about clothing or appearance or about valuing one’s own looks.
-He was allowed to be angry as deeply and for as long as he pleased.
-Very little talk therapy. He couldn’t hear anything over the noise of his own red-hot anger.
-Experienced a dawning; he heard us as pleasant tones and fragments of attractive conversation.
-College “foolishness”: being “branded like a slave.” That no longer matters as a source of shame.
-In his afterlife state, didn’t want anyone who knew him to see the ugliness of 1) his bloody, gory face, and 2) his angry rage.
-He formed a new thought: What if some first-responder professional who was used to seeing bloody faces came for him, e.g. an EMT, firefighter, or police officer.
-Recently “resting in peace” Ralph the First Responder is awakened by his afterlife pager and goes into action.
-An escalator appears for both of them with folks at the top beckoning them to hop aboard!
