Scripture, Reflection and Prayer 02/27/2009

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
- Prov 1:7

Reflection: Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish.
- Pope John Paul II

Prayer: O Lord, the world tells us that our faith and our science are opposed. It tells us we must live either by our mind or by our heart. Teach me Your truth where mind and heart, science and faith are no longer opposed.
