14. ... Unite, then, Venerable Brethren, your prayers with Ours, and at your exhortation let all Christian peoples add their prayers also, invoking the powerful and ever-acceptable intercession of the Blessed Virgin. You know well the intimate and wonderful relations existing between her and the Holy Ghost, so that she is justly called His Spouse. The intercession of the Blessed Virgin was of great avail both in the mystery of the Incarnation and in the coming of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles. ...

Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary" and his writings are held
in high esteem by Catholics today.
Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

Moreover, Mary's profound union with the Holy Spirit, the Sanctifier, leads to her role as Mediatrix of every grace bestowed to the human family. As
St. Maximilian Kolbe taught, the Holy Spirit is so deeply united to Mary in the work of sanctification, that their inexpressible spousal union resembles (without fully reaching it) the union of the divine nature and human nature in the one person of Christ. And since the Holy Spirit always acts through the Virgin Mary in His sanctifying action, then all graces must come through Mary as Mediatrix of all graces.

Please note that the above claims that Mary through her union with the Holy Spirit has very nearly achieved the same status of deity / humanity as Jesus Christ! And because of the presumed status of near-deity, Mary is allegedly qualified to dispense all grace in the role of Mediatrix! This is blasphemy! Who does not see the spirit of AntiChrist in this?
In scripture, you will find that the only spouse mentioned for Mary was her husband, Joseph:
Mat 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.The Bible is quite silent about Mary being the "spouse" of the Holy Spirit and you have to dig a little to find references to this teaching in Catholic sources. Even the new Vatican Catechism does not mention it. I suspect this idea originates in the delicate sensibilities and logic of the Catholic mind, which apparently assumes that for the Holy Spirit to conceive Jesus in Mary, the two should rightly be married! This same kind of human logic results in the dogmas of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, the Assumption of Mary into Heaven, the Queenship of Mary and the doctrine of Mary the Mediatrix of all graces, all of which cannot be found in the Bible and are nothing more than the Traditions of men.Luke 1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
Luke 2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
