Our salvation is in Mary

False. Mary is not a Mediatrix.

There is one mediator and that is Jesus Christ.


For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:5

With our whole heart and with all earnestness let us venerate Mary, because such is the will of Him who has decreed that we receive everything through Mary.”

But Mary’s divine Maternity has positively made her the fountain-head of grace in its entirety.

For she presented to the world the Author of Grace, Christ, and to Him the instrument of grace, His Sacred Humanity.

If, as Bossuet argues from St. Paul, “The gifts of God are without regret”, Rom 9:29 we may safely conclude that he who started the whole work of grace through Mary will not continue or complete it without her.

This is how that celebrated preacher and theologian sums up the Catholic tradition: “God willed to give us Jesus Christ through the Blessed Virgin Mary, and since God is faithful in His gifts, this order does not change. It is and always will be true that having received the universal principle of grace through her charity, we now receive, through her mediation, its various applications in all the different states of Christian life.

Having in her maternal charity contributed to our salvation through the mystery of the Incarnation, which is the universal principle of grace, Mary will contribute eternally in all other operations of grace which are necessarily dependent upon it.”
 
Abraham.

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Hebrews 11:8-10



Noah.

By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. Hebrews 11:7


Is Mary mentioned in the Hebrews hall of faith?


Everyone loves and honors Mary.

However, those who hear and do the word of God are more blessed.

And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!”
But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Luke 11:27-28
None are more faithful that His own mother Lk 1:45

Only Mary brings our salvation!
