Introduction:
The Blessed Mother is both Eucharistic Lady and Queen of the Holy Rosary. The Angelic Salutation "Hail Mary" that recurs throughout the Rosary that ended up in Mary's acceptance of Jesus Christ physically in her womb bonds the Rosary with the Eucharist.
Linking Earth to Heaven :
As the bearer of both, she draws us closer to the latter through the former. Mary's Rosary is indeed a magnetic chain that pulls us towards the Eucharist -"The Centre of Catholic - Christian Life".
It is obvious that the Rosary is called "The Sacred Chain linking Earth to Heaven".
It has been said of Mother Mary that she conceived Jesus Christ in her heart before she conceived him in her womb. Mary's virginal womb was the first tabernacle that housed Jesus Christ.
Much more than just sheltering the Incarnate Word of God within her, Mary nurtured, loved, and adored him "Who" is her God in her own flesh and blood.
Mary's Life from the Anunciation to the Assumption was a constant contemplation of the Holy Face of Jesus Christ. While she lived the sacrificial aspect of the Holy Eucharist through the sorrowful mysteries of Jesus Christ, she sang the thanksgiving aspect of the Holy Eucharist through her "Magnificat".
The interior disposition of the humble Mother of Jesus Christ, who "Treasured" his every word in her heart and "Pondered" over every mystery associated with him, made her "The Lady of the Eucharist".
Mary's exhortation from the wedding feast in Cana "Do whatever he tells you", corroborates the command of Jesus Christ at the institution of the Holy Eucharist, "Do this in remembrance of me".
Mother Mary was the centre and cementing bond of the Early Christian Apostolic Community where she received her Eucharistic Son in the form of Bread and Wine with unspeakable joy.
Mother Mary moves among us armed with the "Holy Rosary" - Her Spiritual Weapon that defeats evil and wins us to God. As the Mother and Model of the Church, she stands besides every altar reinforcing our faith in "Him" who changes Bread and Wine into his "Body and Blood" as he changed water into wine at Cana.
Mother of Grace :
As the "Mother of Grace", Mary is the mediatrix of all graces. All grace won for us by Christ comes to us through Mother Mary.
Even though Mary is not omnipotent, she dispenses the infinite graces of God through her maternal intercession. If we contemplate the Holy Face of Jesus Christ with Mary our Heavenly Mother through the mysteries of the Holy Rosary, she is sure to draw us closer to Our Eucharistic Lord.
Conclusion :
The Maxim "To Jesus Through Mary" in its practical application goes "Through Rosary to the Eucharist".

Your Mary isn’t the Mary I know from the pages of Scripture.
Here is a link to a video from a longtime Catholic priest from Ireland. I’m certain it would help you.
The Biblical Mary and Tradition

Here’s his testimony:

So, you believe everything you need to know about Mary is in the Bible?
Jesus never thought that, and neither did the Authors of the Gospels.
IOW, it doesn’t say so in the Bible.
That’s why we have the Holy Spirit, given to His Church, to pass down revealed truth, unadulterated and unchanged for two thousand years.
When did they start your church?
Check this one out.
How do you know what Jesus or the Authors of the Gospels thought on the subject?
IOW, it doesn’t say so in the Bible.
You're right, it doesn't tell us what Jesus or anyone else for that matter, thought on the subject.
That’s why we have the Holy Spirit, given to His Church, to pass down revealed truth, unadulterated and unchanged for two thousand years.
He did. He inspired the Scripture we have and all the extra Biblical nonsense about Mary taht the RCC added on later, isn't in there.
Surely if He thought it was that important for us to know, He would have included it.
When did they start your church?
The Holy Spirit started the church I belong to on the day of Pentecost.
I know that there is a title of Our Lady such as Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament. Never heard of this one though.
From what I've read in the messages, in His words, His return is "imminent".
My, my!
Welcome. Don’t let the Mary haters scare you off. They have MDS.
huh?
Let's try some easy math:
There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;
If merely 1% of them 'ask' Mary for help just once each day;
that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.
Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)
...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!
Purty good fer someone NOT 'divine'!

Houston; we have a problem...
Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,
Revelation 1:4-6, 11,
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him that is, and that was, and that is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne,
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us a kingdom, and priests to God and his Father, to him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.
11 Saying: What thou seest, write in a book, and send to the seven churches which are in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
