This is your spin. It does not agree with the scripture, because Jesus did not stop the woman from venerating His mother, -- He taught us how to properly venerate her.
27 ... a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.
Here Mary is venerated for her physiological motherhood.

28 But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.
Here the woman is corrected: Venerate her, and all who hear and keep the Word.

Does He mean every Christian? No, because the commandment to keep the Word is a difficult calling, "why call you me, Lord, Lord; and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46).

You are completely wrong because you don’t seem to know what the word rather means.

[Origin: 1615–25; < L venerātus, ptp. of venerārī to solicit the goodwill of (a god), worship, revere, v. deriv. of vener-, s. of venus, presumably in its original sense “desire”; see Venus)]
