I don\u2019t receive one cent, but that is quite beside the point. I never began this apostolate with the motive to make a lot of money. I just need to pay my bills and support my family of six. God has always provided our needs, since I\u2019ve been doing this full-time (beginning in December 2001). My goal and purpose is to spread the word of the gospel and of the fullness of faith to be found in the Catholic Church. Various of my books or papers have also been translated into Spanish, Portugese, French, and probably some other languages, too. Therefore, I was more than happy to grant permission, free of any charge or royalties.<\/p>\n<p>All I asked <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cirkev.cz\/en\/bishops\/ladislav-hucko\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bishop Ladislav<\/a> in return, was for his prayers for my apostolate, and the prayers of anyone receiving my book. God\u2019s grace and prayer are ultimately the causes of any fruits achieved in this work. I simply need to be obedient to my calling.
