Mediatrix of all graces

"Hail, then, from us, O holy mystycal Trinity, who has gathered us all together in this church of Mary, the Mother of God. Hail, from us, Mary, Mother of God, majestic treasure of the whole world, the lamp unquenchable, the crown of virginity, the sceptre of orthodoxy, the indestructible temple, the dwelling of the Illimitable, Mother and Virgin, through whom He is called in the holy Gospels "Blessed who cometh in the name of the Lord." Hail, thou who didst contain Him, thou through whom the Holy Trinity is glorified and adored throughout the world; through whom heaven rejoices, through whom angels and archangels are glad; through whom devils are put to flights, through whom the temper-devil fell from heaven; thorugh whom the fallen creature is taken up into heaven; through whom all creation, held fast by the madness of idolatry, has come to the knowledge of the truth; through whom holy baptism has come to believers, and the oil of gladness; through whom churches are erected throughout the world; through whom the nations are brought to repentance. And what more shall I say? Through whom the only-begotten Son of God has shone forth, a light " to those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death" (see Lk. 1:97); through whom the Prophets foretold, through whom the Apostles preached salvation to the nations; through whom the dead are raised, and kings reign."

"O Lady, all-chaste, all-good, rich in mercy, comfort of Christians, tender consoler of the afflicted, the ever-open refuge of the sinners, do not leave us destitute of thy assistance...Shelter us under the wings of thy goodness. By thy intercession watch over us. O unfailing hope of Christians, hold forth us to eternal life... For no one, Lady all-holy, is saved except through thee, all-holy one...No one, Lady most chaste, is favored with any gift except through thee. No one, Lady most venerable, is given the merciful gift of grace except through thee... After thy Son, who more than thee has the interest of mankind at heart? Who more than thee protects and sustains us in our bitter sorrow?...Who like to thee excels as suppliannt for sinners?...At the very invocation of thy holy name, thou dost turn aside from thy servants the attacks of that most evil enemy, and keep them safe and unharmed."

"Just as it was fitting for Christ to give his Mother total grace when she was conceived, so too was it fitting for him to give her complete glory with her Assumption. It follows that it is true that the Virgin, having entered into glory with her soul and body, is seated next to her Son."

"Mary is the most beautiful of all creatures. [...] A ray of God's beauty shines in the eyes of his Mother. [...] When we speak of her, when we speak to her, let us not forget that she is our true Mother, because through her we have received divine life. She gave us Jesus, and with Jesus, the very source of grace. Mary is the Mediatrix and distributor of graces."

"He who wants to live the supernatural life clings to the Mother of Divine Grace. He who wants to convert and sanctify himself must have recourse to the Mother of God, for she is the Mediatrix of all graces. This mystery, that we receive everything through the Immaculate, is still little known. That is why we must propagate it; more, we must conquer the whole world to the Immaculate."

"Over the course of time, the Ordinary Magisterium, together with numerous Saints and Doctors of the Church, have taught the Marian doctrines of Coredemption and Mediation, employing among other expressions the specific titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces.” Consequently, it cannot be maintained that the Ordinary Magisterium, along with Saints and Doctors of the Church over so many centuries, could have led the faithful astray through a consistently inappropriate use of these Marian titles. Moreover, throughout the ages, this Marian doctrine and the use of these titles have also expressed the sensus fidei—the sense of faith of the faithful. Therefore, by adhering to the traditional teaching of the Ordinary Magisterium regarding Coredemption and Mediation, and by recognizing the legitimacy of the titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces,” the faithful do not depart from the right path of faith nor from a sound and well-informed piety toward Christ and His Mother."

"(About the proclamation of a new dogma for the Marian title of Mediatrix of all graces): When they come to us with the story of declaring her this or making that dogma, let’s not get lost in foolishness."

"Some titles, such as “Mediatrix of All Graces,” have limits that do not favor a correct understanding of Mary’s unique place. In fact, she, the first redeemed, could not have been the mediatrix of the grace that she herself received. This is not a minor point since it reveals something central: even in Mary’s case, the gift of grace precedes her and comes from the absolutely free initiative of the Trinity in view of Christ’s merits. Like all of us, she did not merit her justification by a preceding action of her own, nor did she do so by any subsequent action. Even in Mary’s case, her friendship with God by grace is always freely bestowed. Her cherished figure is the supreme testimony of the believing receptivity of one who, more than anyone else, opened herself with docility and complete trust to Christ’s work, and who, at the same time, stands as the greatest sign of the transforming power of that grace."

"It will not be out of place, and indeed will be useful to the reader, to reflect on how reasonable it is that, even though little is written in the Gospel about Mary except that she is the Mother of God, the Church and the faith of the faithful have derived her innumerable prerogatives. To deny these prerogatives today would be a sign of heresy or irreligiousness. What wonder, then, that He filled His Mother with so many gifts and established her as Mediatrix of all the graces He bestows on mortals? After all, the Eternal Father had already made her Mediatrix of the infinite benefit He poured into Him. Mary, more than any other saint, is ready to help us: both to cooperate in the sublime task of her beloved Son and to help the community of which He has made her Queen."

"O Holy Ghost, divine spirit of light and love, we consecrate to Thee our understanding, our hearts and our wills, our whole being for time and for eternity."
