My Catholic Perspective

Self-Improvement Christianity

Season 1

Unconditional Love Does NOT Mean Unconditional Acceptance

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?

If Christ Could Break Free From Hell, What Does That Mean for Us?

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?

Just "Loving" Someone is NOT ENOUGH

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

Christ's Final Seder Meal: The Institution of the Eucharist

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

Jesus Washing Feet was UNIFYING More Than Anything Else

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

Are You Ready for What This Lent is Preparing You For?

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?

Purgatory Offers Gray Area Amidst Black and White Thinking

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.

If Jesus Needed Faith, Hope & Love, How Much More Do We?

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

Tying Shoes is the Modern Day Washing Feet

@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

Did Mary Feel like She Failed Jesus?

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
