"obtain for us the grace of eternal salvation"

obtain, as Mediatrix, from your Son. Catholics believe that Mary's intercession with her Son is powerful, due to His love and respect for her.

Catholics understand this. Mary is Mediatrix of grace. The prayer is understandable to Catholics because the context is second nature. You are misunderstanding the prayer because you don't have/accept the context . . .

He changed the wording to make it sound blasphemous. See Post 199

Mary is no such thing. Scripture tells us there is ONE mediator between God and man and that it is Christ, Jesus.
ONE. Not a chain of them. Not a college of them. ONE.
I reject the prayer because I all too well understand the context. It is a perversion of the Gospel.
