Friends, welcome to Word on Fire Catholic Ministries.

Word on Fire is an apostolate dedicated to the mission of evangelization,

using media both old and new to share the faith on every continent

and to facilitate an encounter with Christ and His Church.

The efforts of Word on Fire engage the culture

and bring the transformative power of God's Word

where it is most needed.

Today, we invite you to join Bishop Robert Barron

as he preaches the gospel

and shares the warmth and light of Christ

with each one of us.

Peace be with you. Friends, we come to this great feast of the Epiphany. It's just one of my favorites.

I love every Christmas season having the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of this feast because it just keeps generating meaning I find.

You know, we're all familiar with the story of the wise men crossing,

you know, Hill and Dale and Desert and so on to come to the Christ Child. It's been depicted

in, you know, what, tens of thousands of Christmas cards. And there is something romantic and charming

about this story. But as I say, it also generates an awful lot of spiritual

meaning. And so it's worth while meditating on it. Here's the angle I want to develop today.

This whole problem of religion and science. Now, I'll say more about it as I go,

but it's very much of a modern invention,

the conflict between the two.

But it's very much on the minds of a lot of people today.
