Protestants, what was Jesus Christ's Last Important Command Right Before Realizing it was FINISHED?

Jesus entrusted the care of His mother to the Apostle John.

To conclude from this some universal mariological fact is wishful thinking.

Steadfast, if you don’t want to be Mary’s Son as did John, a Command given to us all by Our Lord that is your problem and you better correct it ASAP.

For Jesus says on the Cross in (John 19: 26, 27,) SEEING HIS MOTHER THERE WITH THE DISCIPLE WHOMED HE LOVED, JESUS SAID TO HIS MOTHER, “WOMAN, THERE IS YOUR SON.” IN TURN HE SAID TO THE DISCIPLE, THERE IS YOUR MOTHER." FROM THAT HOUR ONWARD, THE DISCIPLE TOOK HER INTO HIS CARE.

(John 19: 28) AFTER THAT, JESUS, REALIZING THAT EVERTHING WAS FINISHED, SAID TO FULFILL THE SCRIPTURE, ‘‘I AM THIRSTY.’’

This is something that has bugged me for a while in marian teachings within the catholic church.

Christ said to Mary “Woman, there is your SON.”
Then He says to John “There is your MOTHER”

He is speaking to ONE disciple and Mary. He doesn’t address the whole group of followers there at the foot of the cross, He addresses just JOHN and MARY. How is it implied that He speaks to all of us? It implicitly says “IN TURN HE SAID TO THE DISCIPLE” (to use your caps), not “In turn He said to the group of followers”. You can’t have it both ways. Does He speak directly as in “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood” and mean it literally, or does He speak indirectly even though He addresses just ONE person but speaks to the whole group?

I just cannot understand how this applies to us as a whole but He was speaking to John directly.

We Catholics believe that this is one of the many sayings of Jesus that has both a literal and spiritual meaning. The spiritual meaning is that Mary is mother to all of us.

One of the most popular accusations against Catholics is that we worship Mary. (We don’t.) I think this has led to a knee-jerk overreaction on the part of non-Catholic Christians: trying to downgrade Mary from her unique, God-given role in history to some kind of generic decanter for Jesus. “Oh, gosh! If I say something nice about Mary, someone might mistake me for a Catholic!”

Please think about that. Read again the story of the Wedding at Cana, Jesus’ first miracle, and see what role Mary played in it. (Jn 2:1-11)

You would be better served by not typing in bold and in caps. This is considered rude in cyberspace; we can hear you yelling across the bandwidth.
