Description

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!Connect with Father Nathan Castle, O.P. ?  http://www.nathan-castle.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fathernathancastle Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/father_nathan_castle/?hl=en YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/FatherNathanGCastleOP  Listen to the podcast:https://thejoyfulfriar.buzzsprout.comApple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-joyful-friar/id1645812556Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/19OPWBDv38sn9pwSZRgqQnGoogle Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xODkwNTE1LnJzcw Purchase books on Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/34bhp2t4                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   My Dominican brothers and I live a vow of poverty.

The Joyful Friar Podcast explores the soulful, the meaningful, and the mystical in three different ways. First, Afterlife, Interrupted stories, in which someone who died suddenly and traumatically seeks my help and the help of my prayer partners. Second, Compassionate Responses, to readers’ and listeners’ questions and concerns that arise from those stories. And third, Spiritual Practices, influenced by the Catholic Christian tradition I’ve been shaped by that reveal how goodness is at work throughout the universe and within each of us. Each episode reveals insights about living in the present with faith and joyful hope. Be inspired to more fully receive, magnify, and share love.
