The Pope Says Mary Saves Souls

“When Mary offered herself completely to God together with her Son in the temple, she was already sharing with him the painful atonement on behalf of the human race … (at the foot of cross) she willingly offered him up to the divine justice, dying with him in her heart, pierced by the sword of sorrow.”
Jucunda Semper, 1894

Pope Pius X “Owing to the union of suffering and purpose existing between Christ and Mary, she merited to become most worthily the reparatrix of the lost world, and for this reason, the dispenser of ALL favors which Jesus acquired for us by his death . . .
Ad Diem Illum, 1904

Pope Benedict XV “To such extent did Mary suffer and almost die with her suffering and dying Son; to such extent did she surrender her maternal rights over her Son for : man’s salvation . . that we may rightly say she redeemed the human race together with Christ.”
Inter Sodalicia, 1918

Pope Pius XI, 1935, in a prayer to close a jubilee, we find the first use of the word Coredemptrix by a pope: “O Mother of love and mercy who, when thy sweetest Son was consummating the Redemption of the human race on in the altar of the cross, didst stand next to him suffering with him as a Coredemptrix.”

Pope John Paul II, Mother of the Redeemer, 1987 and Pope Pius IX “For God has committed to Mary the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that THROUGH HER are obtained every hope, every grace, and ALL SALVATION. For this is his will, that we obtain everything through Mary.”
Ubi Primum, 1849

Pope Leo XIII “O Mary, the guardian of our peace and the dispensatrix of heavenly graces.”
Supremi Apostolatus, 1883

Pope Pius X “It was granted to the august Virgin to be together with her Only-begotten Son the most powerful Mediatrix and Conciliatrix of the whole world. So Christ is the source . . . Mary, however, as St. Bernard justly remarks, is the channel, or she is the neck by which the Body is united to the Head… through which ALL spiritual gifts are communicated to his Body.”
Ad Diem Illum, 1904

Pope Benedict XV “In every miracle we must recognize the mediation of Mary, through whom, according to God’s will, every grace and blessing comes to us.”
In a decree on Joan of Are

Pope Pius XI “Confiding in her intercession with Jesus, “the one Mediator of God and man, who wished to associate his own Mother with himself as the advocate of sinners, as the dispenser and mediatrix of grace.”
Miserentissimus Redemptor, 1928

Pope Pius XII “As St. Bernard declares, ‘it is the will of God that we obtain favors through Mary, let everyone hasten to have recourse to Mary.”
Superiore Anno, 1940

Pope Pius XII “Mary, for having been associated with the King of Martyrs in the ineffable work of human Redemption as Mother and cooperatrix, she remains forever associated with him, with an almost unlimited power, in the distribution of graces which flow from the Redemption.”
in a radio broadcast in 1946

Pope John XXIII, Vatican II’s Lumen Gentium, 1965 and Pope Paul VI

“The Church … been accustomed to have recourse to that most ready intercessor, her Mother Mary … For as St. Irenaeus says, she ‘has become the cause of salvation for the whole human race”
Christi Matri
John XXIII, see Vatican II, Lumen Gentium.
Paul VI, see Lumen Gentium.
John Paul II “In fact, by being assumed into heaven she has not laid aside the office of salvation but by the manifold intercession she continues to obtain for us the grace of eternal salvation.”
Dives in Misericordia, 1980, quoting Lumen Gentium
