The document discusses the Marian title "Mother of God" and its origins in the early Christian church. It then summarizes the reported apparitions and messages of Sadie Jaramillo, a Catholic visionary, regarding her claimed appearances of the Virgin Mary. The Roman Catholic clergy responded with skepticism to some of Jaramillo's more controversial reported messages about Mary's role and about the coming of Christ and Antichrist.

1. In Study of Mariology:
THE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD
(And the “Little Sorrowful Rose”)
What is the “Mother of God” Marian title?
The title “Mother of God” is a Mary's “mothership of God”, and is a dogma of the
(Roman) Catholic Church.
At around 250AD, prior to the Roman Empire’s take over on early Christianity, the term
"Mother of God" appears within the oldest known prayer to Mary (the Sub tuum
praesidium), that states: "Under thy protection we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God" (but
the Roman Catholic Church title is only “Mother of God”, without the term “Holy”).
In 431AD, after the Roman Empire accepted Western Christianity as its state religion,
then the “Mother of God” title was the first specific Marian doctrine to be formally
defined by the (Roman) Catholic Church (of the Roman Empire), formally affirmed at the
“Third Ecumenical Council” held at Ephesus (or present-day Turkey).
Scriptural basis for the Marian dogma is found in John 1:14 which states: "And the Word
became flesh, and dwelt among us", and in Galatians 4:4 which states: "God sent forth
his Son, born of a woman, born under the law".
Luke 1:35 further affirms divine maternity by stating: "The Holy Spirit shall come upon
thee ... wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God."
The dogmatic constitution “Lumen gentium” at the Second Vatican Council affirmed
“Mary as the Mother of God”. "The Virgin Mary, who at the message of the angel
received the Word of God in her heart and in her body and gave Life to the world, is
acknowledged and honored as being truly the Mother of God and Mother of the
Redeemer."
The Marian dogma is inherently related to the Christological dogma of the hypostatic
union which relates the divine and human natures of Jesus Christ. The Catechism
teaches that "Mary is truly 'Mother of God' since she is the mother of the eternal Son of
God made man, who is God himself."
The term “Mother of God” is then used to describe also various religious images of
Mary, particularly, for a Marian apparition that was organized by a visionary-seer named
Sadie Jaramillo; however, the title “Mother of God” surfaced mostly among the children
who allegedly saw the Virgin Mary during a Rosary prayer gathering of 20,000
devotees.
THE VISIONARY & APPARITION
2. Sadie Jaramillo is a (white) lay Catholic housewife living in the town of Santa Maria
(California, United States of America), who claims that she receives messages from the
Virgin Mary.
Sadie Jaramillo, as a proclaimed messenger of God, calls herself “The Little Sorrowful
Rose”. Through her messages, she was able to form a private Marian group (and she is
also a devotee of the “Our Lady of Guadalupe” apparition in Mexico).
She said that the Blessed Mother desired a huge Cross erected on a hill overlooking the
town. On May 1990, on Pentecost Sunday, around 20,000 people – mostly Hispanics
(or of Spanish decent) – assembled on the hill with belief in her Marian messages.
They were all dressed in their Sunday church clothing, many as if attending a wedding,
and many were wearing white and the women wearing white veils. Then they were
praying the Rosary and singing Marian hymns.
That day was very warm and there was no shade to sit on atop that hill, however, they
enjoyed the spirit of joy in the air. Then suddenly, people began to exclaim, “Look at the
sun!”
Then they reported that the sun was spinning and pulsating; and great rays of light of
every possible color streaked from the center of the sun across the sky like lightning.
Some people wept, others took photos, and others gazed in wonder.
A little girl, about seven years old, standing near the visionary, suddenly fell on her
knees and stretched her arms towards the sun, crying: “Madre de Dios!” (Mother of
God).
Two little boys also fell on their knees and great tears of joy fell to the ground from their
little cheeks as they, too, cried out, “Madre de Dios!” (Mother of God). Their little arms
reached up to a figure on they could see.
While some people claimed to have seen some bright figure of a person among the
images on their photos, while others say that there were birds flying that were
surrounded with bright light, and they flew back to the sun.
MESSAGE FOR COURAGE
(July 6, 2015; the Month devoted to the Precious Blood of Jesus)
I Rise in God's strength, in the agony of Christ, in the Cross of Christ, in Christ's
Precious Blood. These will sustain me against my enemies, visible and invisible... O
Jesus, Mary and Joseph (as the Holy Family), I offer all My thoughts, words and
actions...
3. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus:
I continue to encourage you to take refuge in prayer, in the Hearts of Jesus, Mary and
yes, Saint Joseph. It is prophesied that in the "End Times" devotion to Saint Joseph will
increase and flourish.
In light of recent Supreme Court decisions, I know many of you must feel disheartened,
angry, and even frightened. Believe me when I say that these decisions will affect us,
and most especially the Holy Catholic Church.
For 50 plus years the (Roman Catholic) bishops, much to their shame, have remained
silent on the teachings of the Church, and instead, continued to preach the "church of
nice" ("I'm o.k., you're o.k."; "I'll choose what part of the faith I want to believe in and
disregard the rest"); with homilies that do nothing to stir the soul to conversion.
No, they have been silent. And now, with much resting on this decision, they are waking
up. I have said it before and I say it now, "Let your worry not be for the non-profit status,
let it go and preach with the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit, even to naming
names."
Because if the (Roman Catholic) priests, bishops and cardinals had explained all and
that “he” stood for, and how it would be a mortal sin to vote for him just on the
knowledge that “he” is definitely for abortions (not to mention the other ways he is
undermining the Constitution) maybe majority of Catholics would not have voted for him!
The call on my life has been to pray and suffer for the priests, specifically asked for by
the Blessed Virgin Mary. Although these 22 years have been the most difficult years for
me, I praise the Lord and Our Lady for "waking me up".... so I could embrace my
“Purgatory” here on earth.
Oh yes, I know...that word "soon" in the messages.....for me "soon" has been 22 years.
Little did I know to what degree the messages would come to pass…and “Freemasonry
will wreck havoc on the world" was constantly given to me in those early messages...
and now as we live it, it seems quite surreal.
Because ecclesiastical Freemasonry infiltrated into the (Roman) Catholic church (of
Rome), with the agenda to destroy the Church from within, and the good (Catholic)
priests who fought, or tried to fight and take a stand were often ostracized and punished
by their (Roman Catholic) superiors.
I have been shown what will happen to these superiors, and it makes me tremble. At the
Vatican, there exists the "Mafia".... and so you have (Roman Catholic) Cardinals,
bishops and priests who do not know who to trust, because the agenda to destroy the
Church from within is real and the enemies of the Church hold high ecclesiastical
positions!
4. So heaven knew it would be the Catholic lay people that would uphold the Catholic
priesthood and the Catholic Church up during these turbulent times.
I know this to be true because I have been blessed to meet many priests during the
course of my ministry... and they have shared much with me. I hold all that is given to
me in my heart.
The Blessed Mother Mary has chosen the least of people to take this request on, but I
have tried with great diligence to do all that has been asked of me.
I offer every "nothing" of my life to the Blessed Mother Mary - my actions, my emotions,
my pains, my tears, my heartaches, my problems, everything! As the prayer above says
to do, consecration is written on my heart, it is all I have to give.
Right now, I am recuperating my health… but I remember these terrible times and how
much suffering Heaven needs to mitigate and perhaps change what could happen, and
probably will if more people do not stop living as if they have "all their tomorrows" as the
Blessed Mother Mary told me.
And then the Blessed Mother Mary continued: "But they do not know that the justice of
the Father is on the way, so will you share my sorrow?" Those words haunt me, are with
me, and compel me to continue when I feel like giving up.
But then I have the prayers of so many of you who have followed my journey that keeps
me going, brothers and sisters that I carry in my heart, pray for when you come to me in
prayer, pray for those who trust me to pray for their intentions, and most of all, pray for
the priests I have spiritually adopted, and for all priests to have COURAGE.
For those who are doing wrong to convert before it is too late. Because COURAGE will
be needed in the days ahead by all of us... so all you "Catholics" in name only, those of
you who have not been to confession in years, but still approach the Eucharist and
commit sacrilege, those who voted for “him” with those who believe in abortion… and
those who believe religion and politics do not go together (you are wrong).
Those who are divorced and have not at least tried to avail yourself of all Holy Mother
Church has to help your situation... in short, all of you who are not LIVING THE FAITH
IN EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE... well, you too will need a lot of COURAGE...
because God will show you how you stand before Him, just as if you have died and are
going through your own particular judgement in the illumination of the conscience that is
fast approaching, and IF you live through that, you will be called to choose which side of
the fence you will be on... for there are only two sides... God's and the devils.
“But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day
whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or
the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household,
5. we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)
The Day of the Lord is soon to be upon us; and it will be a day of trembling and awe,
fear for those who are living in sin right now... yes, judgement is soon upon us.
When you are tempted... to despair, to fear, to give up, please call out, cry out to your
true Mother....
When I am fearful I pray: "Greater is HE who is in me than he who is in the world."
When I am bothered by terrible thoughts when praying I say: "Blessed Mother hide me
in the wounds of Jesus... Precious Blood of Jesus cover me!”
“Living the Faith”… in a beautiful way, depicts how I feel at Holy Mass. God has
answered my prayers (and the prayers of others I'm sure) to have a priest who offers
the Teaching Learning Materials (TLM) on a daily basis in my area.
I share with you a very powerful novena. I do not even know how I got it, or who sent it
to me, but it has helped me tremendously: “O Jesus, I surrender myself to you.”
Having shared all the above, remember, we are on the winning side! So be at peace... if
you are going through trials, sorrows, tears and pain... you have been trusted by Jesus
to be his "friend"... as he revealed to Saint Therese of Avila...
Praise be the Hearts of Jesus and Mary now and forever!”
REACTIONS FROM THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY
The visionary Sadie Jaramillo experienced certain unacceptance from the Roman
Catholic clergy when she wrote private revelations that were controversial such as:
(May 18, 1999); Jesus said: “She who is Advocate of mankind, Co-redeemer with Me,
Treasurer and Mediatrix of all graces will freely dispense the graces needed here.”
(October 13, 1999); Jesus: “The time arrives for all humanity to undergo the greatest of
all trials. You will see my True Church broken in two! You will see them TRY to stamp
out belief in My True Presence! This will happen as a result of the crowning title given to
my mother, Mother Mary: ‘Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate of all Graces!’”
Thus, Roman Catholic theologians (of Rome) interpret the true meaning of the term
“Co-Redemptrix” as not that Mary is a co-Redeemer with Christ; but that Jesus and
Mary have two very different roles in our salvation: Christ is the sole Redeemer and
Mary worships Christ, and immerses herself entirely in His work of redemption.
While Roman Catholic theologians continue to argue with the visionary that Mary is not
a redeemer or co-redeemer, and they claim that the term Co-Redemptrix is feminine,
6. and so Mary has the role of a New Eve, but as a helper, wherein Mary supposedly
assists Christ in His role as Redeemer, but they don’t affirm that Mary is not at all a Co-
Redeemer.
Moreover, Roman Catholic theologians also argued with the visionary that neither the
expression “Advocate of all graces”, nor the use of the word “Treasurer” as a title of
Mary, are generally found in (Roman) Catholic theology.
However, Sadie the visionary (called “The Little Sorrowful Rose”) affirms her Marian
message, as she said:
“Our Lord clearly states that there will come a split in the Church when the title of Co-
redemptrix is bestowed on Our Lady (Mother Mary, mother of Jesus), in addition to the
titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix, under which she is presently
invoked in the (Mother) Church.”
THE COMING CHRIST AND THE ANTI-CHRIST
Moreover, the visionary informed the Roman Catholic clergy, as she claimed about the
coming “Christ” and the “Antichrist” (and that the Christians should prepare to defend
Christ), and she wrote the following:
On October 23 (1995), 7PM, Sadie alleged that Jesus said to her: "I am coming soon!"
On November 13 (1995), 1PM, Sadie alleged that Jesus said: "I am King, and I will
return to take up My Scepter and rule with all who have enthroned Me in their hearts."
On December 6 (1997), 3AM, Sadie was awakened by the Lord, and then she wrote:
“Thus says the Lord God: ‘Howl ye, woe, woe to the day: For the day is near, yes the
day of the Lord is near!"
On October 25, (1998), Jesus said: “I have revealed to you it is the Masonic forces that
will wreak havoc on the world! Terrorism, strategically planned, will bring this nation to
its knees! Your leaders, with others, play at acquiring peace, yet peace will not come!”
On June 27 (2000), Sadie asked Mary: "What is the Cross of Peace?" Mary answered
her: "The Cross (of Peace) has been given to be a spiritual beacon of hope and light,
and to prepare (this valley and surrounding areas) for my Son's Second Coming, to
draw mankind to the light of His Love and Mercy."
On December 9 (2000), it is alleged that Mary said: "Yes my little sorrowful rose, I
praise God for Jesus' coming in the flesh!"
On May 20 (2003), Jesus said: “The spirit of the antichrist and his reign is close at
hand.”
7. On May 12 (2004), Sadie said: “During the recitation of the Rosary at the cenacle, I am
interiorly shown a group of men standing around the main one in the center. I am given
an understanding these are heads of nations around the Antichrist”; then Mary said:
“Though these men plot their plan to deceive; and then control, my intervention will
prevail, for this time of the bloody persecution has been shortened.”
Then the Roman Catholic clergy (of Rome), however, rejected her claims on the subject
of “secular messianism” (that “Christ the Liberator” would rather be represented by non-
clergy or the common lay people, and/or by everyone else throughout Humanity by a
certain Christian standard).
While the Roman Catholic clergy (of the ROMAN Catholic Church) argued that the idea
that the “Second Coming of Jesus to reign in the flesh” would result to “the Holy
Catholic Church calls this the Antichrist's deception”.
Then the Roman Catholic clergy shared the Catechism of the ROMAN Catholic Church
(with the ROMAN Catholic Pope as “Bishop of ROME” as its supreme head):
[Catechism # 675]: "Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a
final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies
her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious
deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy
from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo -
messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in
the flesh."
[Catechism # 676] "The Antichrist's deception already begins to take shape in the world
every time the claim is made to realize within history that messianic hope which can
only be realized beyond history through the eschatological judgement. The Church has
rejected even modified forms of this falsification of the kingdom to come under the name
of millenarianism, especially the ‘intrinsically perverse’ political form of a secular
messianism."
VISIONS OF GOD THE FATHER
On February 9, 2000, Sadie wrote: "It is a vision of God the Father holding the body of
Jesus as Our Lady holds Jesus in the Pieta." (wherein the “Pieta” is a white sculpture
statue of “Mary” holding the dead body of “Jesus” in her arms located in the Saint
Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City in Rome, Italy).
On August 1, 1999, she wrote: "I saw an image of the world, and hovering over it, an
image of the Holy Spirit as a white dove. Above Him was an image of God the Father.”
Then the Roman Catholic clergy argued that her claim that she has seen “God the
Father” as a father would only contradict the Bible verse: "God the Father said, 'For I am
God, and not a man – the Holy One among you" (Hosea 11:9).
8. Moreover, the Roman Catholic clergy argue about the Catechism of the Roman Catholic
Church (with its head, the Roman Catholic Pope, having the title “Holy Father”):
[Catechism # 239]: "By calling God ‘Father’, the language of faith indicates two main
things: that God is the first origin of everything and transcendent authority; and that he
is at the same time goodness and loving care for all his children. God's parental
tenderness can also be expressed by the image of motherhood, which emphasizes
God's immanence, the intimacy between Creator and creature. The language of faith
thus draws on the human experience of PARENTS (of MOTHERS & FATHERS), who
are in a way the first representatives of God for man. But this experience also tells us
that human parents are fallible and can disfigure the face of fatherhood and
motherhood. We ought therefore to recall that God transcends the human distinction
between the sexes. He is neither man nor woman: he is God. He also transcends
human fatherhood and motherhood, although he is their origin and standard: no one is
father as God is Father."
Moreover, the Roman Catholic clergy argue that the Catechism of the (Roman) Catholic
Church further teaches that “to impose our own ideas of what God the Father looks like
is to fabricate idols to adore or pull down”:
[Catechism # 2779]: "The purification of our hearts has to do with paternal or maternal
images, stemming from our personal and cultural history, and influencing our
relationship with God. God our Father transcends the categories of the created world.
To impose our own ideas in this area "upon him" would be to fabricate idols to adore or
pull down. To pray to the Father is to enter into his mystery as He is and as the Son has
revealed him to us."
Moreover, the Roman Catholic clergy also argued that “to claim that one has seen God
the Father is a deception that contradicts the Sacred Words of Jesus Christ” - "Whoever
has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Do you not
believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?" (John 14:9-10)
Moreover, “God the Father” is only known to have appeared as a “burning bush” in the
story of Exodus 3 – “Moses saw that the bush was on fire but it did not burn up. So
Moses went near it, then God called to him from within the bush, ‘Moses!... I am the
God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’.”
THE NEW COVENANT
On June 27 (2000), Sadie alleges that Our Lady told her: "I am the Ark of the New
Covenant and in the secure refuge of my heart you and my children will withstand the
storm that comes!"
The Roman Catholic clergy then argued that her writing is very similar to that found in
the (clergy-approved) writings of a Roman Catholic priest named Fr. Stefano Gobbi (as
9. he wrote: "This is the moment for all to take refuge in me, because I am the Ark of the
New Covenant").
Then on June 27 (2000), Sadie wrote: "Now I ask you to announce to all: 'Waste no
more time. I call you to be apostles of these latter days! Give real witness to truth by
your actions more than your words.”
Again, the Roman Catholic clergy then argued that her writing is very similar to that
found in the (clergy-approved) writings of a Roman Catholic priest named Fr. Stefano
Gobbi (as he wrote: "Just as for the Apostles the Cenacle preceded the fullness of their
mission even to martyrdom, so also it will be for you. The time for your public mission
has now arrived. This is the hour of your witness!").
Thus, the Roman Catholic clergy accused Sadie the visionary of making claims of a
“New Covenant” (with the use of the Marian titles of “Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix &
Advocate with Jesus Christ in Heaven”; while the clergy doubted to believe her with
their preference to believe the “Roman Rite” approved “Sacred Words of Jesus”
repeated during the consecration ‘of the bread & wine’ of the Holy Mass).
Then the Roman Catholic clergy mentioned the liturgical words: "Take this, all of you,
and drink from it; this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and EVERLASTING
COVENANT. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in
memory of me."
Thus, the Roman Catholic clergy said that “Jesus said that the New Covenant was an
Everlasting One, and as such, another Covenant is an impossibility, unless of course, if
one wants to call Jesus a liar. The claims of the visionary is doing exactly that, calling
Jesus a liar!”
Therefore, the Roman Catholic clergy refutes the claim of Sadie the visionary of
mentioning that her work (a book titled “The Great Sign”) is a “Papal Fidelity Site (loyal
and obedient to ‘The Holy Father’, particularly Saint Pope John Paul II, ‘Vicar of Christ’,
and to the magisterium in union with him)”.
Thus, as much as there’s a division in the Catholic Church, wherein the Roman Catholic
clergy (of Rome) represents the interest of the Roman Catholic Pope (with the titles
“Holy Father” & “Bishop of Rome”) – on the other hand, a lay Catholic woman, a
nobody, represents Our Lady (Mother Mary, mother of Jesus, with the title “Mother of
the Church”).
And as much as the Roman Catholic clergy accused Sadie that her "declarations are
very deceptive because her alleged visions and messages are not in obedience to the
magisterium of the ‘Holy Catholic Church’ because they promote and distribute material
that contravenes faith and morals” –
10. On the other hand, a lay Catholic commoner woman instead presents herself as a
viable representative of the “Mother Church”, with Mother Mary (the “Mother of God”) as
the head, however, in adoration to her obedient son as the CHILD BABY JESUS (“Son
of God”).
