Mary became God’s intermediary (Mediatrix) with the world when she agreed to Gabriel’s request and continues this role for eternity.
Mary, more than any other creature, has cooperated in reconciling man with God. Being true Mother of God, Our Lady gave the divine Word a human nature and through Jesus gave the divine nature to man. In addition, by her free consent at the Annunciation of the Angel, she made the reconciliation between God and man possible, that reconciliation which was accomplished by Jesus by means of Redemption.
The doctrine of the Church teaches: “that God has entrusted to Mary the treasury of all goods so that each one may know that through her we obtain every hope, every grace, for it is His will that we obtain everything by means of Mary” (“Ubi primum”, Pope Pius IX, 1849).
