Live A Little Better Each Day

“The proficient who would thus live a little better each day by the spirit of the Rosary, would reach the contemplation of the mystery of Christ, a certain penetrating understand of the life of the mystical body, or of the Church militant, suffering, and triumphant. Under the continual direction of Jesus and of Mary Mediatrix, he would enter increasingly into the mystery of the communion of saints."

For Reflection: 

According to this quote, what is contemplation of the mystery of Christ? How can the Rosary help us to do this? Here, Mary is called “Mediatrix.”(-a woman who is a mediator, go-between, intercessor, intermediary; a negotiator who acts as a link between parties.  In Roman Catholic Mariology, Mary is referred to as Mediatrix because of her role as mediator in the salvation process.  She gave birth to the Redeemer, the fountain of all grace and, therefore, participated in the mediation of grace.) How have I experienced Mary as Mediatrix?
