Litany to Our Lady,
Mediatrix of All Graces
In response to the recent document of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, approved by Pope Leo XIV, titled
Mater populi fidelis (The Mother of the Faithful People), TIA invites faithful Catholics to make reparation for the grave offense by praying the Litany dedicated Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces.
The offensive document rejects the use of the Marian titles of Mediatrix and Co-Redemtrix as being “inappropriate and problematic,” particularly with regard to the “ecumenical effort” promoted by Vatican II.
This contradicts the constant teaching of Popes, Doctors and Saints, who have taught that Catholics should look to Our Lady as the Dispenser of all the Heavenly Treasures.
As early as the 4th century St. Ephrem the Syrian declared: “Mary is, after Jesus, the mediator par excellence, the mediatrix of the entire world, and that it is through her that we obtain all spiritual goods (Tu creaturam replesti omni genere beneficii caelestibus laetitiam attulisti, terrestria salvasti).
This litany, printed with Permissu Superiorum for private recitation, invokes titles taken from the Father and Doctors of the Church.
You may print the Litany in a pdf. file here.
