EPIPHANY The of the Lord - Come, let us adore Him - Bon Venture Services
From the Desk of Fr. David Rivera, Pastor

Faith and Science - The Light of the Magi

 In today’s culture and in many secular educa onal ins tu ons it is common to hear that science and faith are opposed to
 each other. This idea started during the Enlightenment in the 17th and 18th centuries but it was limited to academics and
 others of a certain class. Over me, however, the idea that faith and science are incompa ble has trickled down and is even
 fed to the young in the ‘baby’s milk’, so to speak. Science is o en presented as debunking the Bible or religion. Many TV
 specials, YouTube and social media videos use science to a ack the claims of faith. Even many Chris ans have accepted a
 version of this ideology, taking for granted that, at minimum, faith and science have nothing in common because the former
 is a ma er of opinion while the la er is about facts and truth. The story of the Magi, however, presents the Chris an with a
 different view; one that emphasizes not only the compa bility, but also the proper ordering of faith and science to each
 other.

 The Magi were the ancient version of astronomers. They studied the stars and made very accurate calcula ons about the
 earth, moon, constella ons etc. Archaeologists, to their great surprise, are con nuously discovering how sophis cated
 ancient astronomers and mathema cian were. These ancient proto-scien sts were not content with knowing about the
 heavens but also about how to get to heaven, as one famous Catholic priest scien st, Fr. Stanley Jaki, loved to say. The Magi
 studied the heavens to learn more about the creator of the heavens. They had a deep sense that nature was knowable and
 intelligible because it had a Creator and therefore nature itself proclaimed the Creator and was the Creator’s means of
 communica ng with His crea on. The Magi were inspired by their faith to inves gate the world and what they discovered
 also guided them.

 The Magi are a model for understanding the proper rela onship between faith and science. Faith is our knowledge about
 God received through revela on. Science is our knowledge about the physical world acquired using our God given
 intelligence. Both are about truth. Faith gives us the ul mate reasons for existence, gives us the meaning of life, and gives us
 moral direc on and the basis of right and wrong, while through science we acquire the ability to understand more about the
 physical world and how to control it. Science without faith can lack moral guidance and faith without science can quickly turn
 to supers on. These two are not opposed but need each other so that they benefit the human person.

 The light of star was discovered by observa on but following the star was a ma er of faith. Faith turned the Magi’s gaze to
 the sky, their human intelligence helped map and observe the stars, and their faith again mo vated them to follow the light.

 In our age of radical skep cism and rejec on of faith the Magi show us that if science is going to truly benefit human society,
 it needs to be guided by faith. The two should not be confused, separated or pi ed against each other. Only with the two
 working together can we follow the light of the star as the Magi did and arrive at the one true light, Jesus Christ.

                Hammonton Parishioner Heeds Years-long Call to Give Back
 “The Call to Stewardship” is a periodic series in the Catholic Star Herald profiling individuals and families throughout the
 Diocese of Camden who have shown an inspiring response to the call to Chris an stewardship highlighted in 1 Peter 4:10
 “As each one has received a gi , use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”
 We are so proud that our very own Lou Caruso was profiled in the December 22nd issue. The ar cle details Lou’s deep
 commitment to his faith and to his dedica on to this parish. His ever-increasing stewardship includes helping with the Mount
 Carmel Feast, landscaping, par cipa ng in three choirs, doing work for the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, vespers and movie
 nights a er Sta ons of the Cross during Lent. He also ran a summer cooking program for youngsters at the St. Joseph
 Community Center.

                        in a wonderful and engaging Marriage Enrichment Program
The REFOCCUS© Marriage Enrichment Inventory
Growth and change are ongoing with marriage. This program is designed to be used by a couple mul ple mes

tween the couple with periodic direc on of a facilitator. Deacon Mike Kubiak will be the Facilitator of the program
and welcomes all couples to par cipate in this fun, interac ve and eye opening adventure.
Each me a couple uses REFOCCUS, their responses are a snap shot of that point in me.
   Their current responses indicate:
   a) what needs discussing today,
   b) what the couple has achieved that can be celebrated, and
   c) what would benefit from further discussion.
REFOCCUS is ul mately about bringing awareness to major aspects of marriage. Further, it is about the discussion
that happens between the couple a er taking the Inventory and the communica on and problem solving that is u -
lized and developed.
The cost of the program is Free and available in English and Spanish.
