Let me turn to our lady. I know you and I both love the mother of God and we want to see her better loved,

which does not make us marry and maximalists, as our Jesuit brethren will say, but we just makes us Catholics.

I ghost wrote an article many years ago. I won't tell you the title nor who the official author was,

but I was thinking about that recently. And I found a quote that I cite by Mother Teresa.

Quote, Mary is our co-redemptrix with Jesus, she wrote. She gave Jesus his body and suffered with him

at the cross. Mary is the mediatrix of all grace. She gave Jesus to us, and as our mother, she

obtains for us all his graces

The papal definition of Mary as co-redemptrix mediates and advocate will bring great graces to the church

So this was also public in in in in in in in in in in in Saint Mother Teresa here venerable, almost blessed Archbishop Fulton Sheen.

I know you're a big uncle Fulti fan.

He says this in his 1951 book, The World's First Love,

quote.

So the context is he's just described the four defined

Marian dogmas, her immaculate conception, her divine

maternity, she's theotokos, mother of God, her perpetual virginity, her bodily assumption.

Did I leave one out? Perpetual virginity? Yeah, so it's a four. Yeah. First defined in the early

church, the most recent one, the bodily assumption defined in 1950 by

venerable Popeyes the 12th. All right. Sheen in 1951, just after the fourth Merindogma was defined,

he's writing this book about the Blessed Month. It's a beautiful book. I highly recommend. It's

a really good book to bring to prayer. The World's First Love, it's called. Here's what he says. There's one more truth left to be defined, and that is that she is the mediatrix under her son of all graces.

As St. Paul speaks of the ascension of our Lord as the prelude to his intercession for us.

So we, fittingly, should speak of the assumption of our lady as a prelude to her intercession for us, so we, fittingly, should speak of the assumption of our lady as a prelude
