I read in the Medjugorje Magazine Spring 2000 issue that Father Zlatko Sudac might be attending the Medjugorje Days Discover the Sacrametns on Thursday, September 21, 2000 in villa Park, Illinois. I would like to have his address or e-mail address so that I can correspond with him. If you can tell me where I can find his address or if you have his address, please e-mail it to me. Or if I can have a phone number where I can reach him, please let me know. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Linda M. Rodriguez

A coworker of mine just saw this priest in January 2001 in New York City. He will be in the New York area on Monday February 12. If you get this in time you can e-mail me and I will try to find out exactly where he will be. My coworker had a great and peaceful experience at his healing mass and during a 15 minute private meeting at a church in New York

I wish i had found this website about a week ago. I have just attended a seminar given by Fr. Sudac on Feb. 12-14 in New Jersey. He has been in the U.S for the past 2 months and I believe New Jersey was his final visit. The seminar has been one of the best experiences of my life. If you want more information on him go to croatianrelief.org

A relative of mine will be attending a Fr. Sudac retreat next weekend, February 23rd and 24th in Tinley Park, IL.

All we know of him is what is offered on the Croatian Relief Website. All of the other websites that I've come up with as the result of my searches, are in another language; probably Croatian?

I have been receiving e-mails from Dijana Mastahinic address: Dijana.Mastahinic@us.pm.com

She will add your name to a list of people who have discovered Father Sudac. Everyone who has heard and seen Father Sudac know that he is a blessing to us all.

The weekend of 23-24 February, 2001, I attended a retreat in Tinley Park, Illinois. It was an amazing experience, truly moving and uplifting. Thousands of people were packed into the auditorium to see him and hear his message. I feel blessed to have been a part of the retreat; it has changed the way I embrace my faith. Donna Volkenannt

-- Donna Volkenannt (donnav@brick.net), March 04, 2001.

I also, had a profund enlightening experience while attending Fr. Sudac's retreat, on weekend of Feb. 17 and 18th of 2001., at the tiny Croatian church St. Jerome in Chicago. For two days , intensively, with so much energy radiating from him, he was talking to us about one of the basic absolute biblical tenets, to love ourselves and to love each other, as we all are the particles of one living God, whose energy pulsates through each one of us, ready to fill us with love if only we opened our hearts and minds to it. I am planning to attend a week retreat at his Center Bethany on island Mali Losinj, in Croatia, this summer. Annie Vucic, who was his interpreter here, is taking 3 groups herself, and is telling me they are filling up quickly.

-- Miriana Rasich (mirrasich@aol.com), March 12, 2001.

I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING IMMERSED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. HIS TOTAL BELIEF IN OUR FAITH RUBBED OFF. BUT UNFORTUNATELY MOST OF US ARE LIKE BALLOONS WITH A SMALL PIN-HOLE, AND THE AIR COMES OUT. HIS MESSAGE WAS VERY SIMPLE. PRAY.

-- ANONYMOUS (NDCNZ@AOL.COM), May 18, 2001.

I am from Zagreb, Croatia. Just came from the Mass held in our church "Sveta Mati slobode" (Holy Mother of Liberty). Father Sudac was saying the Mass...thousands of people came from all parts of Zagreb to see him, hear him and maybe touch him. I can hardly find the right words to describe how I felt. His voice touched the hearts of every person...his prayers..his words...he was talking about the truth of the heart..the love...about the Cross we all have and must accept it...that the Cross we bear is the only way to find God in our hearts...To love..to accept the suffer..the humiliations...he told us that the paths we must take to follow our hearts will be full of obstacles..thorns..humiliations..but that this is the only way to God and the truth...

I cannot describe the feelings overwhelming me..when I was listening to his words....the feelings of peace..forgiveness..and readiness to accept the Cross...he told us to pray silently..our prayers...and the miracle of his words made me capable of praying first for the others..and at the end..for myself...

After the Mass everyone wanted to touch him...

I am proud to say that Father Sudac is a Croat..as I am..we together prayed for our Homeland Croatia..and for all those who have lost their lives for its freedom...

Today was a special day.

I saw that Fr. Sudac is on the schedule at the International Week of Prayer in Washington, DC. Does anyone have any more info about this? Also, I have heard rumors about another retreat with him in Chicago this fall. Any truth to this? I was so blessed to be able to attend the one in February, and I'd really like to hear about any opportunities here in the U.S. Thank you for any information!

-- Ann B. (disctoysab@hotmail.com), October 02, 2001.

Dear Ann B.

Yes, he is coming to the Chicago area on November 9 and 10 for a retreat/conference. He is to be at the Odeum Arena in Villa Park, IL. Tickets are expected to sell out quickly. Hope this helps!

Thank you, cksunshine! I called and ordered my tickets and appreciate the "heads up"! God Bless!

-- Ann B. (jeff_barrick@hotmail.com), October 06, 2001.

I thank you very much cksunshine, for the info on Fr. Sudac's next conference in Villa Park. Do you know if there will be confession available at this retreat? Will there be Mass both days? Will they allow taping of his talks, or do you think they will sell audio tapes? Thank you much!

-- Susan Spohn (Kiwisuz@hotmail.com), October 10, 2001.

Hi there,

Here is what I know about the retreat. No cameras and no tape recorders are allowed. I believe that they will NOT be selling any audio or video tapes of the conference. They hope to have confession during the lunch and supper hours (and maybe breaks in the day, though that's my speculation), and yes there will be Mass on both days. For more information, you may email me. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the contact number; when I called for tickets they were not happy to hear that I had heard about it over the Internet, but I don't think there is a problem passing it on privately, as I would do that to a person who called me on the phone, or asked me to my face.

Also I do not know of any other conferences that Fr. Sudac will be doing while he is in the United States. I have heard that he is here to learn English, to give a few conferences, and to rest, as he has been much in demand in his home country. He is in complete obedience to his bishop.

I heard him speak at the conference in Tinley Park last spring, and I found him to be absolutely inspirational, and also the most humble person I have ever met. Everything that he said pointed to Jesus Christ! He in no way wanted to bring any glory or attention to himself, only to Jesus, to God.

Hope this helps!

-- cksunshine (cklrun@hotmail.com), October 10, 2001.

We were asked Not to put stuff about FR. Sudac up on the computer, So I can see how upset they are that all these web sites are popping up now. I am sure you can all under stand that this is to protect FR.Sudac. So please honor the wishes of thoes who have asked us not to.

I know this not a response but a question . When I can to Chicago for Father's retreat they mentioned maybe Sacramento will be hosting a Father Sudac retreat is so when? I would like my sister who suffers from a stroke to hear him. She lives in Cal.Thank you and God bless everyone who takes time to share Father Sudac with all of us.

This is not a answer but a question. I would like to know if Father Sudac is in the United States, and if he will be holding any services in the New Jersey/New York area this year (2002)

-- Raffala Manfredo (raemanfredo@yahoo.com), February 16, 2002.

I saw Father Sudac for the first time last night, in Bloomfield New Jersey It was a long trip from where we live on Long Island but well worth it. Once the service started we were energized by Father Sudac. My children and I experienced the power of Christ's love and could feel the Holy Sprit decend upon us. It was without a doubt, one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives and we will never forget him. His message of love and appreciation for all God has given us will remain in our hearts forever.

-- Maureen C. Walsh (irishmom2eb@hotmail.com), February 17, 2002.

You can download Fr. Sudac's schedule from the web site: croatianrelief.org He will be at various churches on the east coast through the end of May. Then he returns to Croatia where he will give retreats. All information regarding Fr. Sudac can be found from the Croatianrelief.org site. His email address is: FATHERSUDAC@AOL.COM He has helped change my life. I fell in love with God all over again. I continue to pray for Father's blessed mission.

-- Larry (lpierce@hotmail.com), February 17, 2002.

Hi. I am a 19 year old who saw Fr. Sudac for the first time last night. As he began to preach I began to fill one with his words. I am so glad that I attended his mass. When he came and blessed us all I was overwhelmed with tears.If anyone has the chance to see Fr. Sudac they should all go.

-- Rosanna (BellaRo143@aol.com), April 12, 2002.

I hope you all enjoy yourselves, and be sure to cast all the demons out when he blesses you; just because he looks like Christ, can do miracles, like healing sick; be very cautious about him, he is not of God; unless of course your bible says differently than mine. And may I remind you that miracles are for the unbeliever not the believer.

-- Joshua (noaddress@biz.nes), September 04, 2003.

I experienced the wonderful presence of God when I saw Fr. Sudac. My little girl,Who at the time was 1, was given his prayer card with his picture on it. Her face lit up with a big smile, then gave the picture a kiss and hug. It was as if she knew him. Later she saw him and got excited pointing her finger saying priest. This really struck me as special. Then when we had adoration I and my sister saw a miracle. As Fr. Sudac was kneeling before Jesus flashes of light came from the monstance and a beem of light streamed to his face and illuminated him. I have also experienced other wonderful gifts from God our Father since seeing Fr.Sudac. I am happier more than ever to be Roman Catholic and have not only the gift of God's Word, but Jesus in the Eucharist.

--Ellie Zakaras

-- Ellie Fran Zakaras (tisblarney@cox.net), September 25, 2003.

Hi Emerald,

You are right when you say that Fr. Sudac is not the one who saves, but Christ is.

Fr. Sudac also knows this. I was at two retreats where he was the speaker, and he GREATLY emphasised this. In his messages to us, he said (more than once!), "Don't look at me, look at Jesus!" He did not like to talk about himself at all. Also he is completely obedient to his bishop. Unfortunately it is some of the people who hear about him and/or go to see him that equate him with Jesus.

God uses all of us in some way that is pleasing to Him to minister to others. Who are we to argue with God in whatever way he desires to use another person. Fr. Sudac is not seeking glory for himself, rather he continues to point people to Jesus, and he is obedient to his superiors. He does not speak anything contrary to church doctrine or scripture.

I know that people have personal subjective opinions, and that is their right, but objectively, I see nothing wrong with Fr. Sudac or his work.

Carolyn

-- Carolyn (ck_sunshine@hotmail.com), September 26, 2003.

I've seen him twice. I personally witnessed some things that were alarming. Knowing that the Church has made no official remark (that I know of) on him yet, I think it's wise to refrain from talking about my personal observations of his behavior. I can and have made objective criticisms about his Masses. Not about the Masses themselves so much as the atmosphere that surrounds them.

There are things I observed him doing, though, that lead me to believe that time will expose him for something other than what he holds himself out to be.

My own personal opinion, of course.

-- jake (jake1REMOVE@pngusa.net), September 26, 2003.

Father Sudac is a gift, as is father Ivan. Why is it that so much evil in the world gets by while some find it imperative to scrutinize the actions of Father Sudac? Oh! he did this or he did that! Father Sudac teaches us how to love God! He is a human person whom God has chosen to deliver a message. Will you listen to the message or will you examine his undershorts? Wake up! Accept it or not Sudac doesn't care. He loves God and is of God. It is a sacrifice for him and also for Father Ivan. Anyone who hears the message and chooses to accept it is a lucky soul.

-- Pauline Pratt (cakes2001@aol.com), November 05, 2003.

Father Sudac teaches us how to love God!

Really? How does one love God, according to Fr. Sudac?

He is a human person whom God has chosen to deliver a message.

We should wait for the Church to make that determination. She will, in time.

-- jake (j@k.e), November 05, 2003.

"Why is it that so much evil in the world gets by while some find it imperative to scrutinize the actions of Father Sudac? Oh! he did this or he did that! Father Sudac teaches us how to love God! He is a human person whom God has chosen to deliver a message."

The last One sent by God with a message was mocked, beaten to a pulp, nailed through His hands and feet and was lanced in the side and left to die in agony in front of His mother and His friends.

If He teaches you to love God, make sure love looks something like that. In other words, make sure it doesn't scoop off the glory and throw away the Cross; you can't have one without the other.

Act of Resignation to the Divine Will

O Lord my God, I now at this moment readily and willingly accept at Thy hand whatever kind of death it may please Thee to send me, with all its pains, penalties, and sorrows. Indulgence of seven years; a plenary indulgence at the hour of death, for those who say the above prayer on any day chosen after devout reception of Holy Communion and Confession. (Raccolta 638)

-- jake (j@k.e), December 14, 2003.

The prayers in the old "Raccolta" are still fine. But when quoting any of them, the reference to an indulgence must be omitted, because it is no longer in effect. Pope Paul VI revised the Church's indulgences in the late 1960s. Get a copy of the latest edition of the Church's "Enchiridion Indulgentiarum" (Handbook of Indulgences).

*Sigh*

O Lord my God, I now at this moment readily and willingly accept at Thy hand whatever kind of death it may please Thee to send me, with all its pains, penalties, and sorrows.

Prayer to Christ the King

O Jesus Christ, I acknowledge Thee as universal King. All that has been made, has been created for Thee. Do Thou exercise over me all Thy rights. I renew my baptismal vows, renouncing satan, his pomps and his works; and I promise to live as a good Christian. In particular do I pledge myself to labor, to the best of my ability, for the triumph of the rights of God and of Thy Church.

Divine Heart of Jesus, to Thee do I proffer my poor services, laboring that all hearts may acknowledge Thy Sacred Kingship, and that thus the reign of Thy peace be established throughout the whole universe. Amen.

Prayer for the Pope

Oh God, Shepherd and Guide of all the faithful, look with favor upon Thy servant Pope John Paul II, whom Thou hast been pleased to place as pastor over Thy Church. Grant him, we beseech Thee, to help by word and example those over whom he rules, so that, together with the flock entrusted to him, he may reach everlasting life.

Amen.

-- jake (j@k.e), December 16, 2003.

Oh, and BTW, instead of quibbling with me over the legalities an (your perceived) irrelevance of certain prayers and practices, perhaps you should simply be encouraging others to pray, pray "a great deal" as Our Lady requested at Fatima.

"Countless souls fall into Hell because they have no one to pray and make sacrifices for them."

How much good could you have brought about if, instead of taking the two or so minutes to compose and proofread another river of rage, you would say...oh, I don't know... pray the Litany of the Holy Ghost? Could you have saved a soul from going into Hell for all eternity? Averted a disaster? Released a loved one from Purgatory? Who knows?

If you want to turn things around for "your (?!) beloved forum," try abandon your stupid smear campaign and endless stream of vulgarity, calumny, and childishness. Be a real Catholic man, take up your Rosary, and say a few decades for all of us. Walk the walk.

Then, when you're done, examine your conscience and re-evaluate your relevance here. Ask yourself why, if the Moderator is so obviously uninterested in taking this forum in the direction you want it to go, do you continue to force yourself on us and humiliate yourself? Look back through your thousands of posts in the last year. How many are positive attempts to assist another in a spirit of Catholic charity, and how many are simply hot air frantically banged out in a moment of unchecked anger?

You've had verbal wars with me and my friends, the last three Moderators, and now with just about everyone you thought you counted among your closest allies. Perhaps this forum has run its course for you. Step back. Re-evaluate. Make an "e-retreat," so to speak. Then, be very, very honest with yourself and answer those tough questions that you so very badly need to ask yourself.

A word to the wise should be sufficient.

-- jake (j@k.e), December 16, 2003.

An orthodox Catholic (me) does not take even one word of advice from a schismatic/heretic like you. Your comments would make an orthodox Catholic howl with derisive laughter if they were not so sick (and accompanied by two years of demon-inspired abuse). Even a kindergartner could see that you want Eugene and me (and anyone else who has the guts to stand up to your satanic dung) to leave the forum, not for our own benefit, but so that you and your sick cronies can have free rein to speak your filth unopposed. Don't bother to waste anyone's time by suggesting such stupidities again.

Dumpkopf, you need to be told that no one pays any attention to your phony piousness either. Everyone -- except perhaps the moderator -- knows by now that you and the other three Stooges are addicted to evil -- or demonically possessed -- so immersed in the mortal sins of schism and heresy you all are.

Your prayers and fake spiritual advice is just so "transparent." You fool NO ONE. We have seen glimpses of the pure fireball of hatred for holiness and for true Catholicism that burns unquenched in your blackened heart (and the hearts of the other "Stooges," especially your wife, who "castrated" you, took over the headship of your family, and led you into deadly sin).

In the words of St. John the Baptist, during this Advent season, I adjure you to "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Avoid damnation by leaving this forum, getting down on your knees with your wife, and begging God's forgiveness for abusing this forum and leading your children out of the Catholic Church.

May God help you in this terrible hour of your need.

Seriously, though, if the Moderator doesn't intend to conform your desires into official policy (at this point, I think it's safe to say that he's made that obvious), why do you continue kicking and screaming?

-- jake (j@k.e), December 16, 2003.

1. I have not been kicking and screaming.
2. The saddest thing is that you really have no clue as to the multiple reasons for my protestations, so you actually ask that stupid question ("Why ...") with a straight face.
3. Rome was not built in a day. The fact that the moderator has not yet made the necessary moves does not mean that he never will. There is more going on in life than meets the eye.
