U can also see when u read the 2 passages (Luke chapter 1), that Zachariah didn't believe what the archangel Gabriel said to him and that's why Gabriel told him then "I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God". As for St Mary, she believed imm…
I think the best thing to do is to pray. (and also to ask your father of confession)
Like bishop Moussa said once, u should pray and say to God if this love is from You so keep it but if it's not so throw it away from me.

Our Lord Jesus came to the world to save anyone who came to him.

The fact is when nothing special or "new" happened so it's difficult to tell abouna about the same problems u had 40 days before when u already know what he is gonna answer.
"Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to spea…
I just want to say that I agree with Loly. And that she's really right.
