Ever felt like your marriage is a constant battle? I’ve been there, and here’s what I learned... Marriage isn’t always the fairytale we envision. It’s a journey filled with challenges, especially when trust is broken. After discovering my husband’s struggles, I faced heavy choices: stay or go? It was tough, and every small argument felt like a step towards divorce. But I realized I had the power to choose – to fight for our marriage or walk away. We often expect perfection, but real life is messy. It’s okay if our marriage doesn’t look like the ideal. We’re two flawed humans trying to grow together. It's not just about surviving; it’s about helping each other grow. That means allowing your spouse to teach you, and being open to change. The journey isn’t easy, and I still have days of doubt. But through therapy and honesty, we’re learning to navigate this together. Trust in God’s plan, not just in each other. If you’re struggling, know you’re not alone. I’m here to talk.

Evelyn and Juliet were thrilled to meet Mr. Anthony DeStefano, but not as happy as Anthony was to meet them! Pulling away from your typical interview, these three lighthearted girls enjoyed asking Mr. Anthony questions about how he got started writing children's books with a particular emphasis on his most recent release: Your Valentine. As we raise our children in a secular world, let's make sure we are introducing them to and keeping them surrounded by those who are keeping their hearts and minds in prayer and scripture! I hope you and your family enjoy this conversation as much as we did :) Pax Christi!

My time as an "influencer" has come to an end. I quit. I will be returning to exemplifying all of what it means to be a follower of Christ in the most Catholic way possible. Any goals of making money- with the exception of Patreon which will have a rightful place of sharing in the funding for materials and equipment for this channel- are done. It's not what I'm here for. So, let me know via e-mail what you want to hear about from me from My Catholic Perspective. [email protected] :) God bless you!

I think the question I'm trying to figure out is: where is the line drawn? When does too far go too far, even for those on the left? Is what I'm presenting really that far out there?? Or is it actually the middle ground we NEED that more people than we know agree on, but fear getting trampled if they say anything? I need your answers...

Loving your neighbor as yourself can ONLY be understood when understanding what Christ meant when He told us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength... So why are Christians allowing themselves to be influenced by secular people? Why are you listening to those who don't read the Bible, or who don't care what God thinks of them? Are you getting your information from the correct sources? What do you think?

I always pray for the Devil, but know it's not an acceptable Catholic stance... But I swear my belief that Christ's mercy can transcend ANYTHING is so real!!! I know Hell is eternal, and we need to prepare ourselves for Heaven on earth, so how can we make the most of Christ's willingness to atone for our sins by descending to Hell as He laid in the tomb?Join other thoughts and musings of my life: www.alimariehere.com

The Lord didn't call us to love others without instructing them. He called us to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. He called us to DO SOMETHING. To negate the Great Commission is to negate the epitome of what it means to be a true follower of Christ. Stop sitting back and using "love" as an excuse to be a lazy Christian. Stand up and do what He has called you to.www.alimariehere.com

Of the 4 cups of wine at the Last Supper, Jesus did not consume any of the last one. When He died on the cross and cried, "It is finished," it is surmised that He was actually referencing the Passover Meal and the completion of the institution of the new sacrament of the renewed law. Let me know what you think of it all!www.alimariehere.com

Why do we still talk about Jesus washing His apostles' feet over 2,000 years later? Why THIS story? What does the washing of feet symbolize? Tune in and add to the discussion!www.alimariehere.com

The Lord prepared to wash His apostles' feet in countless ways. He could have returned to being the man He was prior to wandering the desert for those 40 days, but He came back changed. He had FOUR DAYS to experience how He had been changed. What are we going to do with our newfound hearts and minds once Lent has completed?Let me know your thoughts on your platform of choice at www.alimariehere.com

There's something about the level of mercy Purgatory offers us as believers and seekers of holiness. I pray this episode helps someone understand what it means to Catholics who desire after God's most Holy nature yet find themselves overcome by the wiles of this world.Connect with me elsewhere at www.alimariehere.com

You'd think we already exhausted how Christ demonstrated virtue on the cross, yet this wound up being my longest Podcast episode this Lent! How??? Tune in and find out ;)www.alimariehere.com

@saltandgoldcollection's Foot Washing Series on Instagram is both intriguing and worthy of discussion which I offer here! Alongside that, how can we "wash" other's feet in today's world, and what are those outcomes? I hope this is inspiring for you, and if it is, please join me on other platforms as we journey through life together.www.alimariehere.com

We talk about several facets of Our Lady's suffering at the foot of the cross, but one I haven't heard discussed before is the possibility of Mary's doubt of herself. Did she feel like she did something wrong? As a Mother, wasn't her utmost duty to protect the SON OF GOD? How could she have felt about that? Hear me out on this, and then share your thoughts in the comments on YouTube. www.youtube.com/@alimariehere

When I think of all the women who say they have an abortion to prevent potential suffering of the baby, it makes me so sad. No matter the situation, an authentic chance at life is always going to be the strongest example of love- just as Christ demonstrated. What am I talking about?

When we choose to follow Christ, we are choosing a narrow path toward holiness that can be difficult to walk sometimes. We are called to die to this world and find ourselves alive & renewed in Christ. In that case, which would you choose: Bethlehem or the Eras Tour? What about your children? What are you placing as most important in their lives?Let me know: youtube.com/@alimariehere

What will our post-mortem experience be like? How will the cremated be resurrected? How will organ donors be re-unified with themselves?

If a Doctor gives you a medication, you have to actually take it to feel better! You wouldn't just walk off with the bottle, say thanks and expect to miraculously heal... No... You have to DO SOMETHING WITH IT. Same goes for Christ and what He has given YOU for your salvation.www.alimariehere.com

When Jesus was about to die on the cross, I doubt He was hoping God was going to ask Him to do it again. When we obey God's call to sacrifice something in our lives, it can be so difficult in the moment, but it's so important to look down the line and trust in how He is going to redeem our efforts. Tune in today to hear My Catholic Perspective on it all.www.alimariehere.com

It's a myth that you do not have to work for your salvation. Does the ENERGY to overcome our vices come from God? Absolutely! CAN it come about from sheer willpower from within? No. You HAVE to SEEK GOD'S GRACE which will be FREELY GIVEN to you to overcome your sins, but you have to want it. Tune in today and join the conversation.www.alimariehere.com

A God of smiting and wrath can be difficult to reconcile with the loving, merciful God we came to know in Christ... So what do these "Testaments" really mean anyway? How have they really changed, and how does it impact us today? Let's talk about it!www.alimariehere.com

If you've lost a loved one, it always brings consolation when someone who has been through a similar experience connects with you. It's never too late to choose God. My personal vote is to choose today ;)

The Lord knows the deepest desires of our hearts, just as a parent knows the hearts of their child.

My 3 year old makes a surprise appearance on today's podcast which couldn't have been more fitting! Sometimes my personal priorities- and yes, sometimes needs- take a backseat to what is simultaneously needed around the house and with my family, and I couldn't be more willing and grateful to adapt to it all. My prayer is that the Lord works in your heart to welcome these small sacrifices as well.Connect more through my site: www.alimariehere.com

Daylight Savings Time gets more difficult the more children I have. I value these after-bedtime hours so deeply, but also know the quiet hour in the morning is so rejuvenating to my soul. What did Jesus expect of His apostles? And what is He expecting of us now? Well... Let's figure that out together :)You can contact me anytime through my website, www.alimariehere.com

Whether delivered as a baby or delivered by Christ, our experiences prior to deliverance have massive implications in our lives! We only get ONE BODY, but praise be to God that His mercy has included REDEMPTION. I love to chat further and hear your thoughts, so please be sure to head over to YouTube and leave a comment to let me know what you think! God Bless!

Unlike a child who has a limited understanding of how much grace and mercy a parent offers them in their mistakes, we are adults who are capable of understanding the weight of our sin and the weight of Christ's sacrifice. When that acknowledgement is neglected, we risk falling out of God's grace. So let's talk about it! Join the conversation over at youtube.com/@alimariehere

You've heard about natural and logical consequences all over parenting social media, but how does that translate to God?

When you invite others to come and see what the Lord has done in your life, are you ashamed of your past? Do you hold back in fear of judgement? I want to tell you: DON'T. Your sanctity is in Jesus Christ; body, blood, soul and divinity. Today, let's chat about the Samaritan woman, and how some of us are called simply to be open with our children and family. Be honest, and be the light.Join the conversation at youtube.com/@alimariehere

Captain Barbossa's desire to spill ALL of Will Turner's blood when only a drop was needed parallels to the magnificence and importance of Christ's blood. So why did He allow Himself to be killed? Let's talk about it, and feel free to join the conversation over on YouTube.com/@alimariehere

Our free will goes both ways: We either choose TO sin, or we choose NOT to sin. Both ways are chosen freely, and whichever way we choose we become a slave to. So, are you a slave to sin, or a slave to the Spirit?Join the conversation: www.alimariehere.com

It's easy to know who you're praying to... As is giving alms is easy to know who you're giving to... But who are you fasting for? Is it for yourself? For Jesus? Or are you extending that further and giving your suffering true purpose? Let's talk about it!

Unlike cancel culture which cannot be satisfied, Jesus' sacrifice on the cross satisfied all offense of sin. Why are some people so convinced unforgiveness is the best way forward? How can harmony be found when they want everyone singing the melody? I, for one, am grateful for the Lord's work in my life, and that is something I refuse to denounce.Find more community through my website, www.alimariehere.com

I may be so upset about this since before I was Catholic I WAS the girl defining myself by how good the head was I gave to whoever would "let me." Knowing now how absolutely lost I was... It breaks my heart that there are young women and girls out there that think this is where they identity and/or worth would be. It's such a lie, and it causes such deep wounds- to ourselves, the men perpetuating it, and to our societal stability as a whole. Women- your worth isn't found in how sexually satisfying you are. And men- you're a fool to think that's all a woman would be good for.

Apparently all women are supposed to stay in a constant state of rage which I think is the worst advice possible. Accept the world without becoming complacent, and use logic in your arguments instead of allowing emotion to dictate your words. You know who can help? Jesus ;) Tune in to hear a little bit more about Him! Join the conversations: www.alimariehere.com
