Is Mary the mother of all disciples?

John 19:26-27
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thyson! Then saith he to the disciple, Beholdthy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The Blessed Virgin is a mother to all the Faithful for we have been joined to Christ, the Scriptures saying that Christ calls us "brothers" (Hebrews 2:11). If Christ has taken us as brethren, Christ has made His Father our Father, which is why the Apostle can say that we have received the Spirit of Christ by which we cry out "Abba! Father!" so it would stand to reason that by the same token Christ's mother has, in a sense, become our adoptive mother.

In this way Mary, as the blessed mother of our Lord, is a mother to all the Faithful who have been united to her Son.

Hi and John 19:26 the Greek words THE DISCIPLE / MATHETES is in the ACCUSATIVE CASE , SINGULAR and MUSCULINE !!

The ACCUSATIVE CASE is the DIRECT OBJECT of the noun disciple and it is Masculine and that disciple , I believe that disciple is John !!
