God has committed to her the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is his will, that we obtain everything through Mary.- and the little bit you left out was "And likewise in our own day, Mary, with the ever merciful affection so characteristic of her maternal heart, wishes,through her efficacious intercession with God, to deliver her children from the sad and grief-laden troubles, from the tribulations, the anxiety, the difficulties, and the punishments of God's anger which afflict the world because of the sins of men. Wishing to restrain and to dispel the violent hurricane of evils which, as We lament from the bottom of Our heart, are everywhere afflicting the Church, Mary desires to transform Our sadness into joy. The foundation of all Our confidence, as you know well, Venerable Brethren, is found in the Blessed Virgin MaryNow. Is that better to you? There it all is, in all its glory. For all to see and read. And ponder.

Yes, where it clearly states that through her efficacious intercession with God --> Mary obtains everything from God who she trusts completely. As God's creation that he filled with grace, she has a place of favor to ask for favor for all of us.

Hello SMITW :)
That whole quote of Mary totally dethrones Christ to those who believe it. All that was written there are Christ’s work in the believer, certainly not at all Mary’s. How sad she would be, after seeing all that her Son endured for mankind, were she to know people had elevated her to this position and robbed Him of His rightful place in the hearts of men.

The foundation of all Our confidence, as you know well, Venerable Brethren, is found in the Blessed Virgin MaryFor 9 months that was unquestionably true for any Christian.
For Christians who understand the timelessness of God, because it is a truth about Jesus, it is an eternal truth about Jesus.
For those who came in late, Jesus is "the foundation of all our confidence." It seems silly to have to point that out, but our antagonists don't seem to be able to remember it or to bring that simple notion to their criticism of many Marian statements.
