MARK Chapter 3 v31 to v35: “There came then his brethren and mother, and standing without(outside), sent unto him, calling him. And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. And he(the Lord Jesus) answered them saying, WHO IS MY MOTHER AND MY BRETHREN? And he looked round about on them(not his real mother or brethren) that sat around him and said, BEHOLD MY MOTHER AND MY BRETHREN! FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL DO THE WILL OF GOD, THE SAME IS MY BROTHER, AND MY SISTER, AND MOTHER.” The Lord Jesus Christ, the SON OF GOD, makes it clear that Spiritual Relationships are preeminent and supersede ANY familial relationship.

What this passage does is, it tells you that the entire communion of saints, and not Our Lady alone, is the Church Triumphant whose prayers we receive every day.
