Question about Hail Mary prayers

[pumpkinbeast]

I use thee/thou and amongst, just out of habit, I suppose. I like the sound of it.

For some saying “Thee” and “Thou” when praying the “Hail Mary” may indeed seem odd.

Not if you live in Lancashire or Yorkshire, if thee knows what I mean lad!

I use thee and thou because it is more reverent.

Thee/Thou are informal

Hello,

I would like to know whether anyone prays the Hail Mary using “you” and “your” instead of “thee” and “thou.” I have heard both and seen both in books.

I started saying the rosary with “you” - that is what was printed in the first booklet I owned. I later switched to using “thee/thou” but my 3 year old son always corrects me if I say it that way with him.

Just curious about people’s preferences.

I use You and your. I dont really think it matters. the meaning is the same. the only thing to remember is to say the words with the same love as the Angel Gabriel said them to Mary. We might need to spend a whol;e lifetime achieving that.
