By a marvelous act of Divine Providence, God determined that Pope Leo XIV, the Successor of Saint Peter, would be elected on May 8th, 2025, May 8th being the traditional Feast of Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces. But that title of Our Lady, "Mediatrix," is officially deemed inconvenient by the present head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. What a shameful irony! This is one of the many reasons "Tucho" has to go!
Here is what the Catechism of the Catholic Church, quoting Vatican II, says about the fittingness of the title of Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces.
The Motherhood of Mary in the order of grace means that she is the Mediatrix of all graces. That all graces come to us through Mary.
__Mary's Motherhood with regard to the Church
. . . she is our Mother in the order of grace
967 By her complete adherence to the Father's will, to his Son's redemptive work, and to every prompting of the Holy Spirit, the Virgin Mary is the Church's model of faith and charity. Thus she is a "preeminent and . . . wholly unique member of the Church"; indeed, she is the "exemplary realization" (typus) (LG 53;63) of the Church.
968 Her role in relation to the Church and to all humanity goes still further. "In a wholly singular way she cooperated by her obedience, faith, hope, and burning charity in the Savior's work of restoring supernatural life to souls. For this reason she is a mother to us in the order of grace." (LG 61)
969 "This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfilment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation .... Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix." (LG, 62)

The doctrine of Mary as Mediatrix of all graces is a consistent theme for the last couple of centuries of Roman Pontiffs. Here is a quote from one of Pope Leo XIII's numerous encyclicals on Our Lady which clearly proclaims the consistent teaching of the Church on this doctrine of the mediation of Mary for all graces.
"With equal truth may it be also affirmed that, by the will of God, Mary is the intermediary through whom is distributed unto us this immense treasure of mercies gathered by God, for mercy and truth were created by Jesus Christ.(6) Thus as no man goeth to the Father but by the Son, so no man goeth to Christ but by His Mother."

Ex quo non minus vere proprieque affirmare licet, nihil prorsus de permagno illo omnis gratiae thesauro, quem attulit Dominus, siquidem gratia et veritas per Iesum Christum facta est (Ioan. 1, 17), nihil nobis, nisi per Mariam, Deo sic volente, impertiri: ut, quo modo ad summum Patrem, nisi per Filium, nemo potest accedere, ita fere, nisi per Matrem, accedere nemo possit ad Christum. Octobri mense --Leo XIII, 22 Sept. 1891
