To each one of the mysteries of Jesus she was to renew this Fiat that was so full of love, right up to the moment when, after having offered on Calvary for the salvation of the world this Jesus, this Son, this body she had formed, this blood that had been her own, she was able to say “All is consummated.”

And that is a bold face heresy.

Mary didn't offer Jesus on our behalf.

*****

“No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.” John 10:18 NASB 95

The Greek makes His statement emphatic that it is He Who is laying down His life. He has received this from the Father. NOT Mary. Mary plays absolutely no role in this. NONE.

It is His blood that was shed for us....not Mary's. There is no linkage here between the two.

She is not recorded as saying anything of the such as "all is consummated." It is yet another attempt of Rome to put Mary on the same level as Christ. For it was He who said, "it is finished." The Greek is Τετέλεσται.

The meaning is below.

Cognate: 5055 teléō (from 5056 /télos, "consummation, completion") – properly, to complete (consummate), i.e. finish (qualitatively) the necessary process – with the results "rolling-over" to the next level (phase) of consummation. See 5056 (telos).

To say otherwise is a contradiction of Scripture....something Rome seemingly has zero problem in doing...to their detriment.

It’s at least fair to ask: Where is Cardinal Burke coming from here? What is he saying, what is he implying?

Catholics understand the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Co-redemptrix, and as the Mediatrix of all heavenly graces. Her every painful trial, in terms of positive injuries to her blessed soul, and to her immaculate heart, came to an end with the gruesome death and final piercing of her only child and holy savior on the cross at Calvary, leaving only the quiet pain of waiting with other mourners through Holy Saturday, knowing that she would be first to see Him again in his resurrected glory (this pursuant to pious belief down through the ages) on the third day.

Cardinal Burke thus observed that Mary, with her infused knowledge, and having long pondered Simeon’s prophesy (your own heart a sword shall Pierce) knew that all was consummated...and was able to say the same, in unison with her Son, whether or not she actually said it. Holy scripture of course being perfectly silent on this point (as you have rightly stated) .

Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant whose fiat, freely and humbly given, ensured our subsequent salvation, and saw her become the font through which would flow all heavenly graces. Catholics know she is now Queen Mother of heaven. Cardinal Burke’s remarks recalling as they do her infused knowledge over a lifetime of piety and sinlessness, as well as her inherent dignity as the Mother of God, are therefore well within the bounds of ages-old Catholic tradition.
