received no royalties from any except from PARVIS publication as the editor said it is in his
rules. This money goes for the charity works, for covering costs for books and for travel
expenses to witness in third world countries that do not have the means.
Other activities
Every two years, volunteers of the prayer groups volunteer to help me put up an international
symposium on ecumenism. At the same time we have it as a pilgrimage. Till now four of
these have been done. The largest we had was in the year 2000 in the Holy Land (while the
Holy Father was there), where 450 people came from 58 countries. There were with us 75
clergy from 12 different churches. This year we are trying to do it in Egypt.
All in all, I love the House of the Lord and above all I love God. I am in debt to Him for the
graces that He has given me. He once told me: "I have given you freely, so freely give." So this
is what I am trying to do; I transmit His Words freely to whosoever wants to listen.
I thank you again for allowing me to shed light on the questions with regard to my writings
and my activities. On the web-site
www.tlig.orgyou will find more information. I kindly ask
you to greet from my part H.E. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, H.E. Mons. Tarcisio Bertone and
Mons. Gianfranco Girotti, as well as Their Excellencies from the Consulta of the
Congregation for the Doctrine for the Faith, thanking them again for granting me this
occasion of explaining my work. I hope I have done this in the expected way. I am but willing
to answer orally or in written form to any more questions you may have. And I am ready to
accept any suggestions you might make to clarify certain expression contained in the TLIG
books. If necessary I can add such clarifications in the new editions of my books. With this, I
send my heartfelt compliments and most cordial wishes and greetings.
Yours sincerely in Christ,
Vassula Rydén
