No, the thought of saying "HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy O Holy Mother of God. " makes me shudder.

No wonder, your saying it wrong!

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! Our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus; O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Wow, that sounds worse than what TSgt said. Looks eerily like goddess worship to me.

In fact the only place in the BIBLE the title 'Queen of Heaven' is found is in Jeremiah - and that's precisely what the Queen of Heaven was, a pagan goddess:

"The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods in order to spite Me." - Jeremiah 7:18. Cf, Jer. 44:17-19; 44:25

Except that this isn’t the Rosary. ;)

Hail Mary, full of Grace
The Lord is with you.
Blessed art thou amongst women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.

But then you knew this already because you are so familiar with the Rosary.

The real Mary’s reply would be..”.pray and and ask HIM youselves to be made worthy; the SPIRIT will help you with sighs to deep for utterance. I certainly did that for myself”
