Mediatrix of all graces


 Saints, Doctors of the Church, and Popes have explicitly spoken of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Mediatrix (and even as Mediatrix of all graces).

St. Bernard of Clairvaux (Doctor of the Church)

“It is the will of God that we should have nothing which has not passed through the hands of Mary.”

— Sermon on the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

St. Alphonsus Liguori (Doctor of the Church)

“All graces that have ever been bestowed on men, all came through Mary.”

— The Glories of Mary, Part II, Discourse 5

 St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort

“God the Holy Ghost gives no heavenly gift to men which He does not pass through her virginal hands.”

— True Devotion to Mary, no. 25

St. Bernardine of Siena

“Every grace that is communicated to this world has a threefold course. For by excellent order it is dispensed from God to Christ, from Christ to the Virgin, from the Virgin to us.”

— Sermon on the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Papal Teachings

Pope Leo XIII

“By the will of God, Mary is the intermediary through whom is distributed to us this immense treasure of mercies gathered by God.”

— Octobri mense, 1891

Pope St. Pius X

“Since she surpasses all in holiness and union with Christ, she is rightly called Mediatrix; as she is the one through whom we have received the very Author of grace.”

— Ad diem illum, 1904

Pope Pius XII

“Mary is the Mediatrix with the Mediator.”

— Radio Message to Fatima, 1954
