Analyzing the beliefs of modern Christians, the author presented the topicality of the issue of private revelations. Then, referring to the texts of the Magisterium of the Church and the studies of modern researchers, he synthetically presented the specifi cs of Christian morality and the basic criteria for distinguishing authentic revelations from apparent and false ones. After this, the author describes several aspects of the relationship between private revelations and Christians’ moral life, indicating their signifi cant influence on moral behaviour.
