Mary is also the Mediatrix of ALL Grace.This is how Marian devotion works, IMHO:
(1)Jesus Himself is the perfection and summation of ALL the Grace of God.
(2)Mary "brought" Jesus to us, as the intermediary between God and parturition.
(3) Therefore etc.
I am going to try a little more in an answer to smvoice.

Mary "brought" Jesus to us,
TRUTH: GOD GAVE His Only Begotten Son to us.
"For God SO LOVED the world, that HE GAVE HIS only begotten SON that whosoever BELIEVETH IN HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Mary's part: HEAR and OBEY. That's the command for ALL of us - HEAR and OBEY - HIS WORD.
