Do you intentionally mix the terms in the prayer...

The only difference I can see; is that you've capitalized different letters than I have.

Me: Mary, Mother of GOD
You: Mary, mother of God

Does Hail vs Holy REALLY mean that much difference to a phrase?

NEITHER of them are found in the bible!

Does Rome do this intentionally?

It makes a difference in answering your question: “How many times will the phrase, Hail Mary, Mother of GOD be uttered in all of these celebrations”?

The phrase “Hail Mary, Mother of GOD” is not uttered. There is at least one occasion where the phrase “Holy Mary, Mother of God” is uttered. There may be others. There may also be hymns sung that include the phrase.

True, Mother of God is not found in the Bible. But you weren’t asking about the Bible.

Regarding your question about the Church doing it intentionally, it’s more reflexive than intentional. As natural as Jesus is God. But I have come to understand the sensitivities of those who are uncomfortable calling Mary the mother of God.

I believe we agree that these two statements are true. Mary is the mother of Jesus. Jesus is truly God.

Amen?
