He made this statement on May 11 during an audience granted to members of the Vatican Observatory Foundation, which supports the work of the observatory located in Castel Gandolfo.“Today, however, science and religion face a different, and perhaps more insidious, threat: those who deny the very existence of objective truth,” the pontiff said.During his address, he recalled that his predecessor Pope Leo XIII refounded the Vatican Observatory in 1891 in a context where science was beginning to emerge as a rival source of truth to religion. Because of this, he said, the Church felt the “urgent need to counter the growing perception that faith and science were enemies.” Exploitation of natural resources“Too many in our world refuse to acknowledge what both science and the Church clearly teach: that we bear a solemn responsibility for the care of our planet and for the well-being of those who inhabit it, especially the most vulnerable, whose lives are threatened by the irresponsible exploitation of both people and the natural world,” Leo said.He underscored that the Church’s commitment to “rigorous and honest science remains not only valuable but essential.”The pope also highlighted the unique role of astronomy within this context. “It occupies a particular place in this mission,” he affirmed while emphasizing its capacity to evoke wonder and a sense of proportion in human beings: “It awakens in us both admiration and a healthy sense of proportion.” “Contemplating the heavens invites us to view our fears and failures in the light of God’s immensity,” he noted.However, he lamented, “this gift is today threatened” by light pollution. “To paraphrase Pope Benedict [XVI], we have filled our skies with artificial light that blinds us to the lights God has placed in them — an eloquent image,” he suggested, “of sin itself,” citing a 2012 homily by the German pontiff.Gratitude for scientific workThe pope expressed his gratitude to the scientists and benefactors associated with the foundation, whose work sustains the activities of the Vatican Observatory.“Your generosity makes it possible for the Vatican Observatory to share the wonder of astronomy with students around the world and to offer workshops and summer courses to those working in Catholic schools and parishes," he said. "Ultimately, it is your dedication that keeps the observatory’s telescopes and laboratories faithful to their original purpose: to be places where the glory of God’s creation is encountered with reverence, depth, and joy,” he added.Finally, the pontiff exhorted them to “never lose sight of the theological vision that animates all of this."“It’s not surprising that people of deep faith feel called to explore the origins and workings of the universe," he said. "The desire to better understand creation is but a reflection of that restless yearning for God that dwells in the heart of every human being."This story was first published by ACI Prensa, the Spanish-language sister service of EWTN News.

Local volunteers help feed the hungry in Manhattan #Catholic – 
A group of volunteers woke up early on a rainy Saturday morning, April 25, and while it was still dark headed out to New York City to feed the hungry. A long running tradition of the youth/young adult ministries at St. John Vianney Parish in the Stockholm neighborhood of Hardyston, N.J. and St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in the Oak Ridge neighborhood of Jefferson Township, N.J., the group collaborates with the volunteer organization Midnight Run to participate in their Breakfast Run program in lower Manhattan. Midnight Run coordinates more than a thousand relief missions every year in which volunteers from churches, synagogues, schools and other civic groups distribute food, clothing, blankets and personal care items to the homeless poor.
Local volunteer participants included an eighth-grader, high school sophomores, young adult alumni of the parishes’ shared youth ministry program, parents, and other parishioners. Additional volunteers gathered at St. John Vianney’s Madonna Hall at 6 a.m. to assist in preparing breakfast, which included French toast sticks, sausage, tater tots, and scrambled eggs. In addition to a hot breakfast, the group kept warm on the drive into the city with coolers and hot bricks. Volunteers made to-go options like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, sliced oranges, and hygiene kits.
The group gathered for prayer in Madonna Hall before their caravan of cars left Stockholm for their destination, 28th street. They served more than 75 meals and handed out basics like socks, tees, and underwear in addition to breakfast.
