    The Holy Bible's antiquities written even in papyrus (a paper like skin or similar kind of stuff used to write in the olden days) were preserved and safe even today in the divine library London written by holy men which were the inspired words of God. I greet and wish all of you in the name of Jesus Christ to spread the aroma of the word of God to all the Nations. If you lack in knowledge call to this telephone Number Holy Bible Jeremiah 33:3

    I join several people from Milagris Parish to say Kudos to Father Walter D'Mello on his initiative and leadership. If we wish to live by the bible we should know the bible and that is Father Walter's concept. The exhibition is indeed well planned and it is good to see OUR BISHOP (that is the name Justice Michael Saldanha has used while referring to Bishop A.P.) and indeed he is Our Bishop. Again sometime ago at a public function Justice Michael termed Father Walter as the best Parish Priest. I do not know what yard stick Michael has used for measurement but I have no hesitation in saying that Father Walter is doing a fine job. Joe Gonsalves

    Hosea 4:6 says my people perish because of lack of knowledge, so the word of God(BIBLE)gives you clear understanding and knowledge why did Jesus come in this world. Holy Spirit is here to guide to all the TRUTH through his WORD from BIBLE. So thank you organisers for this event, this is a great thing you have done in the sight of the LORD, Mangalore will see tremedous changes in the spiritual realm in 2010. People are hungry for the WORD OF GOD. And that word is found in the BIBLE, The WORD WORKS.

    Mega Bible Exhibition is just a good starter to make the Word of God our Mother tongue. My appeal is to the Diocesan Authorities to make a permanent Bible Exhibition gallery for the Diocese so that people of all walks of life can taste and see the goodness of the Lord. Eternal Word does appeal to our sensibilities of every age.
