• Private Revelations

Those manifestations of secrets which are made to a particular person. There are three kinds:

• natural, which result from natural causes
• diabolical, which proceed from the devil
• Divine, by which God sometimes illuminates and instructs a person for his own salvation or that of others

They are distinct. from visions and apparitions, in which persons see, but may not understand; when they understand, they are said to have a revelation.
