Christ is the creator of the universe (John 1:3).
The creator of the universe has infinite power to cause something from nothing.
Mary is the mother of Christ.
Christ is without sin and therefore perfectly obeys his mother at all times.
Therefore, Christ always grants His mother perfect honour at all times.
Perfect honour from God is not empty, but full of the power of God.
The power granted by the Son towards the mother is in proportion to the dignity of the office of the mother of God.
The dignity of the office of the mother of God is in proportion to the dignity of a divine person.
The dignity of a divine person is infinite.
Therefore, the power the divine Son grants His mother s an act of honour is an infinite power.
Therefore, Mary as the mother of Jesus, has an infinite power.
Argument 2
Mary is now the queen of heaven with her son as the king.
For the Son is the Davidic Son who fulfils the Old Testament Davidic kingdom which had the office of queen mother who governed the kingdom through the Son and mother.
Similarly, heaven is the fulfilment of the Davidic kingdom, and thereby Mary is the new queen mother who governs heaven with Christ as her Davidic Son.
Heaven is the ultimate end of the act of the Son of God who redeemed mankind.
The act of the divine Son is infinite.
An infinite act is in proportion to an ultimate end that is an infinite good.
Mary is then the queen of heaven as ruler over a kingdom that is infinitely good.
As the ruler has power in proportion to the kingdom ruled, Mary has an infinite power in heaven.
And further, an infinite power in heaven equates to an infinite power on Earth, for God always acts on Earth from Heaven to carry out His will.
Therefore, Mary has an infinite power on Earth.
