THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY IS CO-REDEMPTRIX, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT

Pius XI: "O Mother of piety and mercy, who accompanied your sweet Son as he accomplished on the altar of the cross the redemption of the human race, as our co-redemptrix, associated with his sufferings...! Preserve in us and increase each day, we beseech you, the precious fruits of redemption and of your compassion." (Radio Message, April 28, 1935).

Saint Pius X: "The consequence of this communion of feelings and sufferings between Mary and Jesus is that Mary merited to be the most worthy redemptrix of the lost world and, therefore, the dispenser of all the treasures that Jesus won for us with his death and his blood." (Ad diem illud, February 2, 1904).
