She purifies our suffering…

Equally important when offering any form of suffering to God is to do so through Our Lady. As the Mediatrix of all graces, she then offers our sufferings to God in an even more beautiful way than we can on our own. St. Louis de Montfort described this for us in his True Devotion to Mary: With Preparation for Total Consecration.

True Devotion to Mary: With Preparation for Total Consecration; Part Two: Perfect Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary or Perfect Consecration to Jesus Christ — Ch II: Motives of this perfect consecration: Third Motive —It Obtains for Us the Good Offices of the Blessed Virgin II. Mary Purifies Our Good Works, Embellishes Them, and Makes Them Acceptable to Her Son, paragraphs 146-150
