Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord (Kyrios) should come to me?

Kyrios = Lord, not Theos = Deity/God.

Elizabeth did not say *mother of my GOD*. She used the word *Lord*.

The Jews, out of respect did not use the “Name” of God but “Lord.”. This is so well known that I am surprised you do not. Which is why Pope Benedict ordered that Catholic publications not use “Yahweh.”but rather “Lord”, out of respect for the Jews.
