God endowed Mary with the privileges and prerogatives of: 1) The Divine Maternity, sharing with the Father the parenthood of Jesus, true God and true man, the redeeming Divine Word Incarnate; 2) Perpetual virginity for her intimate union and close cooperation with Jesus as co-redemptrix sharing in His redemptive ministry and sacrifice; 3) Assumption body and soul into heaven, for her continued union and cooperation with Jesus. Our Lady was appointed spiritual loving mother of all humans and the Church; merciful human advocate and intercessor with the Father; universal mediatrix and distributrix to the world of the divine grace, light, wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit; and providentially governing Queen of Heaven and earth. In short, we consecrate ourselves to Jesus through Mary because, immaculate, humble, open, full of grace and in intimate union with her divine Son, she is the model for our human spirituality; and is also, in the heavenly continuation of that same union, our divinely appointed advocate and mediatrix who intercedes through the Son with the Father for petitions from the world, and distributes divine blessings to it.
