Catechesis: Invocation of the Saints

Granted, the blessed Mary prays for the Church. 

Does she receive souls in death? 
Does she conquer death? 
Does she make alive? 

What does Christ do if the blessed Mary does these things? 

Although she is  most worthy of the most plentiful honors, yet she does not want to be made equal to Christ. 

Instead, she wants us to consider and follow her example.—Ap XXI:27

Through Christ, she does all these things; she is the Theotokos. Don't the saints participate in our salvation through their prayers and charity?

Where do the Scriptures teach that Mary 1) receives our souls in death? 2) conquers death? 3) vivifies?
