Please read these nine unusual to miraculous observations beyond scientific explanations but which happened. These are accounts of some extraordinary nine sightings, or happenings, or miracles seen on our pilgrimages or missions. 1. First Holy Land Pilgrimage 18 February to 10 March 1995. Three unusual things happened. Story below. (a)The transfiguration Six months after my baptism on the Feast day of the Assumption of our Lady on 15 August 1994, some of us newly baptized gathered together , and discussed which part of the world which we have not been and which we would like to go . We felt that that the Holy Land was an interesting place for our Faith, and I was asked to make inquiries of tours which go there. Thompson Tours under Alfred offered to take us there together with my mum, who was in a wheel chair. Meanwhile we all prayed at our first get together with Fr. Jim Wallace CsSR from Novena Church .About two weeks before departure, the Palestians blew up a bus with passengers in Jerusalem, .We were so frightened that we wanted to cancel our pilgrimage. Then at a Catholic bookshop, I came across a video of "Walking in the footsteps with Jesus in the Holy Land " by Fr. Frank Doyle.

Carroll: A Survey of Recent Mariology A SURVEY OF RECENT MARIOLOGY In America magazine for February 23, ·1980, Andrew Greeley and associates reported on their research for the Knights of Co­ lumbus; the article was Mary Survives. In the Our Sunday VZ:r­ itor weekly (magazine section), May 4, 1980, Catherine An­ thony printed her telephone interview with me under the head­ ing, Mary: She's Making a Comeback. Under a less flamboyant title, Mary Today, the Irish Bishop Kevin McNamara of Kerry contributed an article to the July, 1980 issue of The Fu"ow (vol. 31, pp. 428-450). He noted that Catholics offer fewer prayers to her, and she holds a smaller place in their minds and imagination. This neglect at the level of devotion is paralleled by an even more striking neglect in theology. Since the Council, there has been very little writing in Mariology, and for many theologians it no longer seems of any great importance.
