This is Mary the Mother of God. Who is not found in the pages of Scripture. I've read the Bible beginning to end and have not found that title nor those attributes in there anywhere.
Well, De Montfort did say earlier that Mary's attributes were kept from everyone. I guess that means they were kept from the bible too. There are several popes in the past who have written similar things about Mary so popes visiting Demontfort's grave is in keeping with the Marian devotion sentiment.

De Montfort also says:
9. The whole world is filled with her glory, and this is especially true of Christian peoples, who have chosen her as guardian and protectress of kingdoms, provinces, dioceses, and towns. Many cathedrals are consecrated to God in her name. There is no church without an altar dedicated to her, no country or region without at least one of her miraculous images where all kinds of afflictions are cured and all sorts of benefits received. Many are the confraternities and associations honouring her as patron; many are the orders under her name and protection; many are the members of sodalities and religious of all congregations who voice her praises and make known her compassion. There is not a child who does not praise her by lisping a Hail Mary. There is scarcely a sinner, however hardened, who does not possess some spark of confidence in her. The very devils in hell, while fearing her, show her respect.
10. And yet in truth we must still say with the saints: De Maria numquam satis : We have still not praised, exalted, honoured, loved and served Mary adequately. She is worthy of even more praise, respect, love and service.

All the Words of Mary...
...as recorded in the Bible.
...To the angel
How will this be, Mary asked the angel, since I am a virgin?
Mary answered. May it be to me as you have said. (Luke 1:30-38)
...To Elizabeth
And Mary said: My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for meholy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers. (Luke 1:46-55)
...To Jesus
His mother said to him, Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you. (Luke 2:48-50)
... at Cana
And when the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, They have no wine.
His mother said to the servants, Whatever He says to you, do it (John 2:3-5).

NIV 1 Corinthians 4:6
Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit,
so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, "Do not go beyond what is written."
Then you will not take pride in one man over against another.
