How Do we Discern Apparitions and Private Revelations?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church Second edition sets the standard by which the faithful should approach any claimed apparition, private revelation or message associated with them:
#66 “The Christian economy, therefore, since it is the new and definitive Covenant, will never pass away; and no new public revelation is to be expected before the glorious manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Yet even if Revelation is already complete, it has not been made completely explicit; it remains for Christian faith gradually to grasp its full significance over the course of the centuries.

Revelation ends but not our understanding of it guided by the Holy Spirit.
