Regarding this, the conciliar declaration Lumen Gentium states: “Taken up to heaven she did not

lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of
eternal salvation. . . Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of
Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix.” Lumen Gentium, section 62

 Mary loved the world that she gave her only-begotten Son
 Mary is our ladder
 We are to pray to Mary to ask for favors
 We can only know God through Mary
 Mary helps us when we are tempted
 Mary is the way to the Father
 She is the door
 She is the rod out of the root of Jesse
 She is co-redemptrix

“If the drive [to declare Mary co-redemptrix] succeeds, Catholics would be obliged as a matter of
faith to accept three extraordinary doctrines: that Mary participates in the redemption achieved
by her son, that all graces that flow from the suffering and death of Jesus Christ are granted only
through Mary’s intercession with her son, and that all prayers and petitions from the faithful on
earth must likewise flow through Mary, who then brings them to the attention of Jesus.”
Kenneth L. Woodward, Newsweek, “Hail Mary”, August 25, 1997, p. 49

“In place of the Holy Trinity, it would appear, there would be a kind of Holy Quartet, with Mary
playing the multiple roles of daughter of the Father, mother of the Son and spouse of the Holy
Spirit.” Kenneth L. Woodward, Newsweek, “Hail Mary”, August 25, 1997, p. 49.

Regarding the position of Mary, Roman Catholic theologian Mark Miravalle has stated: “The
union between the Immaculata and the Holy Spirit is so inexpressible, yet so perfect, that the
Holy Spirit acts only by the Most Blessed Virgin, his Spouse. This is why she is the mediatrix of all
graces given by the Holy Spirit.” Mark Miravalle, p. 54.
 She is our refuge
 She is our throne of grace
 She is the light of the sun
 She is our life
 She changes and transforms our lives
 She protects us from the power of Satan
 She is our propitiation
 She has a name that is above all names
 If we die we have assurance of life in her
 All power is given to her in heaven and on earth
