St. Bernardine of Siena - The conception of the Son of God conferred upon the virgin [Mary] the right to administrate everything that was granted to the Son. [Mary] had a certain jurisdiction over the temporal processions of the Holy Ghost, so that no creature receives any grace of virtue except through the distribution of the Virgin Mary.
The Holy Ghost is sent from Christ who is caused by Mary as Christ's mother.
Mary has maternal authority over Christ as a mother has authority over a Son.
What has authority over the Son has authority over that which is caused by the Son.
For everything the Son does is subordinated to the authority of His mother as dictated by the ten commandments.
Christ then always acts to honour His mother.
Therefore Christ's sending of the Holy Ghost is an act to honour His mother.
And then because the Holy Ghost's temporal mission is caused by the Son who acts under the authority of Mary, and to honour Mary, Mary has authority over the Holy Ghost's temporal mission.
But the Holy Ghost's temporal mission is to cause Christian grace and the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost in Christians.
Therefore Mary has authority over Christian grace and the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost.
And therefore Mary is the mother of all Christians and mother of the Christian spiritual life.
