Here is all of CCC 1172:
1172 "In celebrating this annual cycle of the mysteries of Christ, Holy Church honors the Blessed Mary, Mother of God, with a special love. She is inseparably linked with the saving work of her Son. In her the Church admires and exalts the most excellent fruit of redemption and joyfully contemplates, as in a faultless image, that which she herself desires and hopes wholly to be." 44
You continue your practice of excerpting passages without indicating you have done so.

Since you do not believe in free will, you cannot begin to understand how Mary is inseparably linked with the saving work of her Son.

Mary is NOT "inseparably linked with the saving work of her Son" other than by being a recipient of that work which Christ ALONE performs for His sheep.

In that regard, we are all linked as Mary was linked. Mary is NOT on the cross with Christ.

You have to be patient, that is how they seem to read. They only see what they want to see no matter how many times they read something.
