The physical, natural and human sciences experienced the same impulse as technique and industry. In physics, experiences were made with light and electricity. In 1903 Ernest Rutherford discovered the radioactive elements and years later he devised a model of the atom. In 1895, Guillermo Róngten discovered X-rays.

In 1905, <u><em>Alberto Einstein</em></u> based on his mathematical studies revolutionized the conception of the cosmos with his Theory of Relativity, starting point of new investigations. This discovery meant a huge advance in science, comparable to those made by Copernicus, Kepler and Newton.

2. The Widow and the Unjust Judge (Luke 18:1-8) - men ought always to pray

3. The Pharisee and the Publican (Luke 18:9-14) - the humble will be exalted

2. This parable speaks of the need for a constant prayer of a person in the face of God. No matter how hard it may be for a person in life, and no matter how unbearable his worldly sorrow may seem to him, he should not be depressed, but constantly pray to God with deep faith that protection will come soon.

3. The parable of the publican and the Pharisee teaches us how, with what feeling one has to pray. Pride is the source of many vices, but humility is a great, truly Christian virtue.
