We believe that Our Lord Jesus Christ founded the One True Catholic Faith. We also believe that Mary, His mother, humbled herself to God's will, and became the mother of God. The two are thus bound inexplicably to one another. She stood silently by as the enemies of Christ, her son, cruelly tortured and crucified him on the cross. She kept her peace knowing that she was all part of God's plan to redeem the world which was hopelessly lost to Original Sin. Our Lord, Jesus, so loved his Mother that he proclaimed that if we ask anything in his Holy Mother's name it will be granted to us, as he cannot deny His Mother anything.
This is a part of our Faith that is embedded into our very souls. Mary is our recourse. She is our Mother. And just as our earthly mothers cannot deny our most urgent needs, our Heavenly Mother will look after us until we see her enthroned along side of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

And where exactly would I find this in the Holy Bible? An exact verse reference that supports this, not the usual hagiography about holy fathers?

If the Bible doesn't say it, then it's church doctrine, which isn't always necessarily the truth. Mary isn't mentioned much in the Bible at all. She is the mother of Jesus and was obedient to God, but she has no other role in Christianity. She is to be revered but not worshipped.
