Mediatrix of all graces
Mediatrix of all graces is a title that some Christians use for the Blessed Virgin Mary; as the Mother of God, it includes the understanding that she mediates Divine Grace. In addition to Mediatrix, other titles are given to her in the Church: Advocate, Helper, Benefactress. In a papal encyclical of 8 September 1894, Pope Leo XIII said: "The recourse we have to Mary in prayer follows upon the office she continuously fills by the side of the throne of God as Mediatrix of Divine grace."
In Mater Populi Fidelis, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Catholic Church, in November 2025, declared that the use of the titles Mediatrix, Mediatrix of all graces, and Co-Redemptrix "have limits that do not favor a correct understanding of Mary’s unique place". The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith encouraged the faithful to instead use of the title Mother of God for the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Marian title of "Mediatrix of law and graces" existed in Latin usage since the 8th century and had a high degree of acceptance in the 11th and 12th century.
At the core of Mary’s identity as the Mediatrix of Grace lies the belief that she serves as a conduit through which Divine grace flows from God to humanity...Through her intercession, Mary invites us to open our hearts to the infinite possibilities of God’s love and mercy, embracing the fullness of life’s joys and sorrows with a spirit of trust and surrender.
In 1896, French Jesuit priest René-Marie de la Broise interpreted Pope Leo XIII's papal encyclical Octobri mense as teaching that all graces from Jesus Christ are imparted through Mary. Broise proposed that the pontiff should make a dogmatic definition about the role of Mary in the distribution of all graces, but did not require that it be in the form of declaring her to be the mediatrix of all graces.
In the Catholic Church there are many levels of teaching, the highest of which is a dogmatic teaching. There are also definitive teachings that have not been declared as dogmas.
In 1928, the encyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor of Pope Pius XI prayed the Virgin Mary as "the advocate of sinners, and the minister and mediatress of grace."
In modern times, the Society of Saint Pius X has continued to advocate for the Marian title of Mediatrix of all graces.
