“The Venerable Bishop Sheen, said that Jesus called her woman because He wanted her to recognize that once He performed His first miracle, she would become the mother of all not just to Him. “

Appeal to Authority - logical fallacy.

Mary is not the mother of all anywhere in Scripture. Made up out of whole cloth. Probably moth-eaten cloth.
