that she may be my advocate in the presence of Thy majesty

Is De Montfort praying to Jesus as the mediator between man and Mary?

Can you read?

that she may appease Thy just wrath, because I have so often offended Thee

that she may contemplate Thee, speak to Thee, pray to Thee, approach Thee and please Thee

Again, can you read? It is clear that Jesus is the superior one here, the one who requires appeasement and pleasing, the one with majesty and wrath, the one who is offended.

I can read well enough to see you pick out the "standard disclaimers" and overlook the passages where it is obvious that he is "asking" Mary to "save" him from Jesus and, in the process, giving himself "entirely" to Mary. (Is "entirely" a relative term?

Yes, Mary is necessary for me at Thy side and everywhere that she may appease Thy just wrath, because I have so often offended Thee; that she may save me from the eternal punishment of Thy justice, which I deserve; that she may contemplate Thee, speak to Thee, pray to Thee, approach Thee and please Thee; that she may help me to save my soul and the souls of others; in short, Mary is necessary for me that I may always do Thy holy will and seek Thy greater glory in all things

And shall I not be entirely hers? Oh, what ingratitude! My dear Saviour, send me death rather than such a calamity, for I would rather die than live without belonging entirely to Mary.

And if Thou seest in my soul or my body anything that does not belong to this august princess, I pray Thee to take it and cast it far from me, for whatever in me does not belong to Mary is unworthy of Thee.

Consider further:

Oh, I know, it's a translation error.

Let's look at another, better translation.

There, that's better.
