Thank you, Fr. Allen, for explaining the answer to this question. May I add that maybe also because Zachariah was a high priest and should know better than doubt God's power and Grace. Mother Mary on the other hand was a virgin teenager who had no high position or education as Zachariah. She wasn't doubting, as you said. Thank you for pointing out the use of SHALL and not CAN in Mary's words. That makes more sense to me now. God bless.
Thank you, Father, for clarifying the two responses to the angel’s pronouncement. I have often wondered about it and could not come up with an answer. May God bless you and all the Marians!!
Thank you, Fr. Allen, for giving us a clear understanding of the question though simple but needs clarity. You have explained it thoroughly making us see the light of God’s wisdom. Thanks to all the Marian Fathers for being ready to help us when doubts cloud our minds and problems burden the hearts. God bless you and the entire Marian family.
Mother Mary was young and only asked "how can this be, I've never had relations with a man". Hence The Immaculate Conception and Then Her Fiat.. Obedient to GOD'S WILL. Where Zachariah was not until Mother Mary came to visit St. Elizabeth and then she also was filled with the Holy Spirit. 🙏❣️❤️✝️🕊️
St Elizabeth accepted the Holy Will of God through the message of an Angel,.. St. Zachariah did name Him John as he spoke his name, His burden was lifted. 🙏❣️❤️
A very good analogy. And if the good Father's analogy is right for I'm not sure if this is Church teaching or his own understanding. If I'm understanding him correctly, A more simplified and incomplete way to put it is this. Zachariah asked it more like; yeh right how in the world is that going to happen. While Mother Mary asked it more in the context of asking directions.
I also believe that Joseph, also, had made a vow of celibacy and together with Mary, they raised the Son of God with pure faith and fidelity in their virginal states and lived as brother & sister. Deo gratias.
Had the answer to her question been ANYTHING else, Mary would not have given her fiat. She was aware that the enemy could be deceitful and She wanted only the will of God. This was clearly God's messenger and thus She agreed.
Question of Mary was in innocence. Zachariah asked for a son so when the angel said he was going to have his prayer answered but Zachariah doubted the angel. Mary never doubted
@YAJUN YUAN Saint Faustina is canonized a saint and all her writings went under deep scrutiny of the Catholic Church for authenticity and inspiration by the Holy Spirit. God bless
Someone stated that The Holy Spirit told St Faustina to throw out her original diary, How many books and page's we're written on St Faustina?. I'm not sure which one to obtain?. Sorry, Thank You and God Bless 🙏❣️❤️✝️
I got upset with the question. Maybe since it was happening to Mary’s own body she had a right to ask? Zachariah may have simply not had the authority or jurisdiction to ask ..?
It doesn’t sound like that was it. It sounds like Zacharias didn’t understand and so he doubted, whereas Mary trusted even though she didn’t understand.
What a lovely way to explain this issue. May God bless you and reward you🙏🏻
The “How shall?” Vs “How can?” Fairly succinctly covers it.
Amen I never question it but now I have a clear answer blessings and prayers for you and all of the priest 🙏
Because of her faithfulness and her innocence and purity her question was answered
Thank you Marians for all these questions and teachings here and in your podcasts.

Great explanation! I have pondered this question over the years but just accepted it on faith.
Beautifully explained Father. God bless you
Yes, Mary wondered out of pure innocence!
Thank you for that clarification. I have always wondered that myself, and now it makes sense.
Very good presentation....thanks
Thank you Fr Allen

Where Zachariah was not until Mother Mary came to visit St. Elizabeth and then she also was filled with the Holy Spirit. 🙏❣️❤️✝️🕊️
Kathleen - Elizabeth was already PREGNANT when "The Blessed Mother" visited her!!!!
Praise 🔥✝️🔥God, very ✝️Blessed message, Amen 🙏❤🔥✝️🔥❤🙏
St Elizabeth accepted the Holy Will of God through the message of an Angel,.. St. Zachariah did name Him John as he spoke his name, His burden was lifted. 🙏❣️❤️
Really really good, thank you!
Great explanation and very well done (image wise) video. Thank you!

Zachariah asked it more like; yeh right how in the world is that going to happen.

Thank you, I always wondered the same?
I also believe that Joseph, also, had made a vow of celibacy and together with Mary, they raised the Son of God with pure faith and fidelity in their virginal states and lived as brother & sister. Deo gratias.
I remember that The Angel Gabriel said that Elizabeth was with child in her old age, for with GOD nothing is Impossible 🙏
Because she asked to know but Zachary more like moquerie
AMEN
Viva Cristo Rey!

If ST. FAUSTINA couldn't read or write was anything left out in translation?..
No, everything she wrote was guided by the Holy Spirit.

In the Old Testament, Samson and Samuel were born to elderly parents, who had previously appeared to be infertile, just like John
Blessed are those that ask Mama Mary to intercede as she is the gateway to Jesus
Jesus gave his mother Mary to be our mother as well
Thank you Jesus

Because Zechariah was a whiner apparently
