Why did Jesus never call Mary mother?

Answer 1

Because He did not want us to worship her or to look at her as though she was a goddess.

Luke

11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Matthew

2:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Catholic AnswerJesus is using all due respect and love for His mother. She plays a very important part in the economy of salvation. After all, we would not have been saved were it not for her "Fiat" at the Annunciation, when the Archangel, Gabriel, asked her to bear the Son of God, and she replied, "Fiat" - Be it done to me according to your word. She is replacing Eve, who as mother of the entire human race, gave us only sin and death. Mary, in her humble obedience, is granting to the entire human race grace and salvation. Jesus acknowledges this role for her, and gives her to all of us, through the apostle, John, as our mother. She is the "woman" who gives the world its Savior who will crush the head of Satan (Gen. 3:15). Remember that the language you are reading in The Bible is a translation of another language that is recording a culture that is over twenty centuries removed from our own. You can not color the word "woman" with the way it is used on the television in the twenty-first century and expect to understand what Jesus is saying.

Answer 2

Jesus never called mother Mary his mother because he is a god and God don't have mother but we human have mother and she is mother Mary in whome the word of God become flesh. But it doesn't mean you can't ask mother Mary to pray for you. We can ask mother Mary to pray for us as we ask other person to pray for us but their is a big difference between some other person and mother Mary because mother Mary is the only one who is without sin and the only one in which the word of God become flesh and after all it's your and my mother too and very close to Jesus and if she ask something for you to Jesus , Jesus can't say no to mother Mary like in the same way when Jesus do his first merical before time
