The following writing from a Friend of Medjugorje in 2009 sheds light into the way we should be think about Our Lady's messages.

Our Lady’s words hold a supreme place above all other
words, all other philosophies, all works of spiritual writers, all
books, encyclopedias, etc. Only one thing stand above these precious
words of Our Lady: God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. They alone, the
Holy Trinity, are above Her. Also their words alone, the Bible, are
above Hers. She is to lead us to God just as Her words are to lead us
to the Bible. Her words bring new light to the Scriptures, leading us
to them, and to a better understanding of God’s holy words. Her words
are living just as God’s words are living, just as God’s words are
living. Our Lady is speaking to us, to lead us to the living words of
the Bible which are from a living God, instructing us, encouraging us,
giving us hope. The Bible is not a dead tree manufactured into paper
with ink pressed on it, but God’s powerfully present voice, living and
holy. And now Our Lady is coming daily, giving living words that are
not on an equal level with God’s words, but are given in order to lead
us to those Heavenly words of the Bible. Her words will go down in
history as a preface to understanding Holy Scriptures and to show us how
to bring into the modern world new life which is presently dying. We
are being given a preface to the Scriptures, an owner’s manual, Our
Lady’s words, to the machine, the Bible, on how to use it, how to work
it, how to understand it, how to make our lives better in this world
through it.
Through all the different hypothesis, theories, and
explanations, the true answer as well as the solution to all the
problems in the world can be found within the messages of Our Lady of
Medjugorje. Contained within these messages are God’s words on how to
bring peace to the world. Our Lady’s messages are the very thoughts of
God. When we read these messages, pray with them, study and meditate
over them, we begin to learn them and, by the grace of God, live them.
Through this process, we can replace our worldly ways and opinions with
God’s own thoughts and desires in every area of our lives.
As children of Mary, Her messages need to have a
prominent place in each of our lives. Why is this necessary? Because
Our Lady speaks strongly to us through Her messages to help us find
God’s way in everything we do as individuals, as families, as parish
churches…Her messages are living messages. They can speak to us today,
tomorrow, next year, ten years down the road. Our Lady, Herself, is
offering the world spiritual direction through Her messages and if we go
to Her with our prayers, petitions, and concerns, She very often gives
us direct answers that can transform our lives.
Our Lady wants to teach and guide us through Her
messages. We only need to give Her the opportunity to do this. Through
the messages, we learn not only how to change our hearts, but we are
given a deeper insight into God’s presence in national and world events
as we pray to understand Our Lady’s plan to save mankind.
