In the fourth and final presentation of the mini-series, Father speaks about Mary as "Mediatrix of All Graces." There is only one mediator between God and man, the Man Jesus Chrsit," as St.Paul tells us in his first letter to Timothy, chapter 2, verse 5. However, through, with and in Jesus there are multiple subjects of His only mediation. The Blessed Virgin Mary occupies a singular position of grace and power through, with and in her son. He alone could give her this power. Jesus came into time and space through the fiat of Mary and the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus, who is in Himself all grace from Christ through Mary. Hence, we call her "Mediatrix" of all grace. Her mediation is subordinate and totally dependent upon Her Son, however He wills that she participate in a most eminent way in the economy of salvation and the bestowal of the infinite grace made available through His passion , death, and Resurrection.
