"Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee (Luke 1:28 with 'Mary' gradually added by the Church)."

Note: Mary receives grace --- she does not dispense grace! Only God/Jesus can do that!

That is correct!

Mary shares in Christ’s redemptive work by her consent to God’s plan (Luke 1:38) and by her lifelong walk with Christ to the cross (Luke 2:35 and John 19) and her continued cooperation in heaven (Revelations 12). Who more than Mary participated in the sufferings of Christ (Colossians 1:24, Romans 8:17 et al.) by the "sword that would pierce her soul" (Luke 2:35)?

True, and where does the Hail Mary say that? All it says is Hail to you Mary, you are full of grace. It doesn't say dispense grace to us.
