Jesus is not minimizing the love for His mother in this passage. It is opening the doors to an eternal family, those who do God’s will. Mary is not excluded from this family as she did God’s will. To read this and see it as a dismissal of her is kind of missing the bigger picture.

It surely didn’t uphold the adulation Catholics would like portrayed.
