Mary is quite an unusual person. She's just contemplating what it will look like to be a married woman and suddenly an angel, actually an archangel, appears to her and tells her she is favored by God and she wonders what in the world that means. She questions how she can fulfill the promise this angel speaks of as she is a virgin and virgins don't give birth. The angel "explains" how this will happen in terms that make no sense at all and Mary's response is, ok, I am God's servant, whatever He wants. She actually responded better than the priest, Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist. Her response is simply, I don't understand, can't understand actually but you're an angel and that's good enough for me. Are we prepared to believe and act as Mary did, trusting God?
