Mary is the Mediatrix

You may have heard that some are saying it is foolish to call Our Blessed Mother the Mediatrix of All Graces. Yet this teaching comes to us from many great saints, Fathers and Doctors of the Church! It makes perfect sense since Jesus chose to comes to us through Our Lady. We can also look to approved Marian apparitions like Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. St. Jerome taught, “death through Eve, life through Mary.” St. Bernadine of Siena professed that “every grace which is communicated to this world has a threefold origin: it flows from God to Christ, from Christ to the Virgin, and from the Virgin to us.” Thus, St. Philip Neri liked to say: “To begin and end well, devotion to Our Blessed Lady, the Mother of God, is nothing less than indispensable.”
