Mary is not a person in history to read about, but like her Son Jesus, we are called to have a relationship with her. She is our spiritual mother through her Son Jesus Christ.
When I'm in prayer, or in a time of need, but not sure what to do or say, I always ask for her intercession, "Mary, my mother. I don't know what to say or do. Help me." She immediately gives me the words or the direction of my need. I'm always amazed at how quickly she answers and how much more my mind, body, and soul are open to Jesus. This time I was praying and my mind felt like it was just jumbled with all kinds of things - worry to worry - so I prayed, "Mary, what am I supposed to say to Jesus? What is my prayer for Him right now?" She answered quickly, "Jesus, be everything that I desire. You are my will." When I first started to ask for her intercession I felt odd, like I was taking something away from Jesus, but the more that I kept praying for her intercession the closer I became to Jesus. My relationship with Mary is key for my relationship with her Son Jesus Christ because she unlocks so many graces through our prayers.
"What the Catholic faith believes about Mary is based on what it believes about Christ, and what it teaches about Mary illumines in turn its faith in Christ." (Catechism of the Catholic Church)

The Blessed Virgin Mary had, and still does have, one of the most important roles in the history of our salvation. She is the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. The angel St. Gabriel was sent to the town of Nazareth and said to Mary, "Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you." (Luke 1:28) St. Gabriel then told Mary not to fear because she had found favor with God, she would then conceive in her womb Jesus, and that Jesus will be called Son of the Most High and of His kingdom there will be no end (Luke 1:29-33). Mary asked how could that be since she had no relations with a man and St. Gabriel told her, "The holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God." Mary's final reply was, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." (Luke 1:38)
"At the announcement that she would give birth to "the Son of the Most High" without knowing man, by the power of the Holy Spirit, Mary responded with the obedience of faith, certain that, "with God nothing will be impossible": "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word." Thus, giving her consent to God's word, Mary becomes the mother of Jesus. Espousing the divine will for salvation wholeheartedly, without single sin to restrain her, she gave herself entirely to the person and to the work of her Son; she did so in order to serve the mystery of redemption with him and dependent on him, by God's grace:"
Called in the Gospels "the mother of Jesus," Mary is acclaimed by Elizabeth, at the prompting of the Spirit even before the birth of her son, as "the mother of my Lord". In fact, the One whom she conceived as man by the Holy Spirit, who truly became her Son according to the flesh, was none other than the Father's eternal Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity. Hence the Church confesses that Mary is truly "Mother of God" (Theotokos).
(Catechism of the Catholic Church)
After greeting her cousin Elizabeth, who was with child, Mary said, "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever."
From our first encounter with Mary in the bible, we know that she has great love for God and does His will unceasingly, with great humility, faith, and obedience. In her canticle, the first thing that Mary says is that her soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and we see this in the few times that she is mentioned in the bible; her words are few but provide great depth to our own relationship with her Son Jesus Christ.
One of my favorite scripture verses is when Mary and Jesus are at the wedding in Cana. Mary sees that they have no more wine and tells Jesus. "And Jesus said to her, "Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come." His mother said to the servers, "Do whatever he tells you." (Luke 2:4-5) Jesus then tells the servers to fill the stone jars with water and Jesus turns it to wine, then tells them to bring a cup to the headwaiter in which the headwaiter thinks that the bridegroom saved the best wine for last. First, Mary notices our need and then she immediately brings it to Jesus. She doesn't ask us if it's OK with us, she doesn't wait to see if our needs are filled elsewhere, and she is not afraid to bring the need to her Son. Mary knows our needs can only be filled in her Son Jesus Christ.
Mary's role in our salvation does not end when she is assumed into heaven, but continues for all eternity with her Son Jesus Christ, as our spiritual mother, intercessor, helper, advocate, and mediatrix - to name a few of her titles. "Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. (John 19:25-27)
"All generations will call me blessed": "The Church's devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship." The Church rightly honors "the Blessed Virgin with special devotion. From the most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honored with the title of 'Mother of God,' to whose protection the faithful fly in all their dangers and needs.... This very special devotion.. differs essentially from the adoration which is given to the incarnate Word and equally to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and greatly fosters this adoration." The liturgical feasts dedicated to the Mother of God and Marian prayer, such as the rosary, an "epitome of the whole Gospel," express this devotion to the Virgin Mary."
(Catechism of the Catholic Church)
There are many devotions and prayers for the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and she has appeared many times to people on earth to give messages of repentance, prayer, and love for her Son Jesus Christ.

Consecration to Jesus through Mary is life changing! I was consecrated to Jesus through Mary on the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes. After I finished my consecration I was searching places in the United States that have shrines of Our Lady of Lourdes, and I was wishing that I could visit one because I thought that I would NEVER make it to Lourdes, France. The next year I did, actually, travel to Lourdes, France apart of a Marian Pilgrimage and it was an amazing experience!
"Marian
consecration basically means giving Mary our full permission (or as
much permission as we can) to complete her motherly task in us, which is
to form us into other Christs. Thus, by consecrating ourselves to Mary,
each of us is saying to her:
Mary, I want to be a saint. I know that you also want me to be a saint
and that it's your God-given mission to form me into one. So, Mary, at
this moment on this day, I freely choose to give you my full permission
to do your work in me, with your Spouse, the Holy Spirit.
As
soon as Mary hears us make a decision, she flies to us and begins
working a masterpiece of grace within our souls. She continues this work
for as long as we don't deliberately choose to change our choice from a
yes to a no, as long as we don't take back our permission and leave
her." (33 Days to Morning Glory, A Do-It-Yourself Retreat)
We learn from saints before us that Mary is a powerful intercession and Satan fears her. "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; They will strike at your head, while you strike at their heel." (Genesis 1:15) Mary is not equal to her Son Jesus but raises us to Him by her motherly intercession.
* But the power of Mary over all the devils will especially shine forth in the latter times, when Satan will lay his snares against her heel: that is to say, her humble slaves and her poor children, whom she will raise up to make war against him. They shall be little and poor in the world’s esteem, and abased before all like the heel, trodden underfoot and persecuted as the heel is by the other members of the body. But in return for this they shall be rich in the grace of God, which Mary shall distribute to them abundantly. They shall be great and exalted before God in sanctity, superior to all other creatures by their lively zeal, and so well sustained with God’s assistance that, with the humility of their heel, in union with Mary, they shall crush the head of the devil and cause Jesus Christ to triumph. - Saint Louis de Montfort (True Devotion to Mary)
* Such is the will of God that we should have everything through Mary. - St. Alphonsus Liguori

Born for us thine Infant,
Hear our prayers through thine.

Mildest of the mild,
Freed from guilt, preserve us,
Pure and undefiled.
Keep our life all spotless,
Make our way secure,
Till we find in Jesus
Joy for evermore.
Through the highest heaven
To the immortal Three,
Father, Son, and Spirit,
One same glory be. Amen.
