What you don’t understand is that Mary always leads to Christ. She asks nothing for herself...never she always leads to Christ. That is why she is mentioned so little in scripture. If you think of the few words that she does say, they are very powerful. The wedding of Cana to the servants... do as He tells you...That is what she says to all of us...do as He tells you..never drawing attention to herself. A good mother is self sacrificing. She wants her children good and obedient. She will do whatever she can, make any sacrifice to make sure they follow the right path. The long nights with a sick child the endless hardship a mother endures for her children those are hidden. Mary wants the same thing a good, holy mother would want for her children. And we are her children. She was given to us by Jesus as He hung on the cross. Behold your mother. We are not taking anything away from Jesus when we love and honor His mother.

Perhaps she is mentioned so little because the apostles, who were very familiar with her, and no doubt loved and respected her, realized her role was NOT what the Catholic Church has made it to be.
She is mentioned ONCE after the gospels, in Acts 1:14: These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
However, if you want to major on what neither the apostles, the scriptures, nor the Holy Spirit is majoring on, help yourself — but consider if you major on minors you will also likely minor on majors.
