relating to a post i made in the Musings page, here is a little more on Father Sudac

It has significance to this page as i believe faith, belief in something greater than ourselves to be a foundation of our over-all well being
Your faith may not be Christian, and if it is not i'm sure you have interesting tales of your own denomination that i would be pleased if you did share


FR. SUDAC'S BIOGRAPHY
Father Zlatko Sudac (pronounced "sue-dots") was born on January 24th, 1971. He is from the town of Vrbnik, on Krk Island, in Croatia. He began studying for the priesthood in 1993, after completing his mandatory military services in the Yogoslav army. He was ordained a priest on June 29, 1998, and is a diocesan priest for the diocese of Krk, Croatia. Both of his parents are still alive. He has one sister, who is married and has three children.

Fr. Sudac recieved the cross on his forehead in May, 1999 on the Friday after the beatification of Padre Pio. After he received the cross, he was sent to the Gemelli Clinic in Rome to be investigated. The exhaustive investigation concluded that Fr. Sudac's cross was not of human origin, i.e. that it was formed in a way that medical science could not explain. Fr. Sudac received the stigmata on his wrists, feet and side on October 4, 2000, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, who was the first person in the history of the Church to received the stigmata.

Fr. Sudac's primary messages are very simple ones: that love has to be the foundation of everything that we do, and that if we live in love, then we live in God; that we must be open to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in our lives so that we can live the fullness of what God wants to give us; that we must die to ourselves completely so that God can fill us with Himself; that we must be completely normal people, who have our feet firmly planted on the ground, but ever aware that while we live in this world, we are not of it.
