The following is an answer from Our Lady regarding Church authority and the Church’s approval of the apparitions in Medjugorje.
"One must follow the authority of the Church with certainty. Yet, before She expresses an opinion, it is necessary to advance spiritually, because She will not be able to express a judgment in a vacuum, but in a confirmation which presupposes growth of the child. First comes birth, followed by Baptism, then Confirmation. The Church comes to confirm him, who is born of God. We must walk and advance in the spiritual life, affected by these messages."
