I’d say once a week generally speaking although I’m unaware of any specific requirement.

I’m curious though, is this a sort of contest? Is frequency and repetition of the very same words regarded as more desirable among Roman Catholics for some reason?

Or, is it perhaps sincere, humble and thankful prayer that is effective, rather than rote, repetitive ritualization?

Seems I recall something Biblically unfavorable regarding vain repetition. Do you recall this?

I wanted to see if there was a relationship between the aversion to the Hail Mary with the reluctance to say the Our Father.

It is as I thought it would be.
