Apparitions are considered private devotions by the Catholic Church.

It is not necessary for Catholics to believe them, even those approved by the Church.

If the apparition draws a believer to Christ, then it is beneficial.

If the apparition becomes an end in itself, then it isn't.

“Holy Mother, forgive me my sins,”

This poor soul, for instance, has misplaced his devotion to Christ, since only He can forgive sins.
