By Lucas Matos Jesus Christ in the parable  of a Good Samaritan tells how a wounded man was helped by the  Samaritan. First a nobleman passed, he didn’t help him. Then a  Levite priest passing by didn’t help him. A passing-by Samaritan felt pity on him, dressed his wounds and kept him in a nearby inn and paid his dues. This was a parable Jesus told in the Bible. We all are sinners, we need God’s mercy. Jesus Christ rescued a woman who committed adultery and she was brought to Jesus to  be condemned to death. Jesus Christ saved Mary Magdalene of her sins. At the dying moment of His life he forgave the right hand side thief on the cross. As poor little sinners, we need God’s Mercy.

He admitted Jackson in a hospital and then kept him at his residence at Mapuca for a couple of weeks. Sudeep’s mother also used to take care of Ja...

The dawn of the Renaissance saw the birth of the one whose name would be etched on the pages of history for generations to come. His name is Leonardo da Vinci. He was a great painter, writer, scientist, architect, poet, composer, sculptor, mathematician and a natural philosopher. But painting was the only field in which Leonardo's genius was acknowledged in his time. This Italian artist was born in 1452 in Vinci. Later he settled in Florence, the centre of the Italian renaissance. His masterpieces include The Last Supper and Mona Lisa. The Last Supper is the painting of the final meal shared by Jesus Christ and his disciples in Jerusalem on or just before Passover. Mona Lisa is the painting of a beautiful lady with an enigmatic smile on her face. Leornardo da Vinci also made notable contributions in Geography and in Astronomy.
