No wonder, your saying it wrong!.... Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! Our life, our sweetness...

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

Well for goodness sale if you can't tell the difference than DON"T SAY THE PRAYER! If, however you look at the last line the that expresses the hope that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ, the same Christ we ask Mary to take us to earlier in the prayer, then you can begin to understand that we're asking her, she who all nations call blessed, to do what she did for the folks at Canna: intercede on our behalf to her Divine Son.

But if your not able to conceive of that as the intent of the prayer, if you for some reason fall into worship, that is to adore and place her above Him who is above all things, don't say the prayer.

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:

Indeed, but that's not Mary so no worries, unless, again, your lack the ability to know what your intent is while praying, then you may want to avoid pray to anyone other than GOD since praying to the Father, Son and Holy Ghost may lead you into polytheism. Careful now.
