My Stories - Volume 6 AUDIENCES

My Stories – Volume 6: Audiences is a deeply personal memoir that captures extraordinary real-life encounters with some of the most influential spiritual leaders of the modern era. Through vivid storytelling, the author takes readers inside rare and historic moments, including private audiences and meetings with Pope St. John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, Pope Francis, and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. These experiences are not only historical in nature but also reflect the author’s lifelong involvement in ecumenical dialogue, Eastern Christianity, and international religious collaboration. Blending travel memoir, church history, and personal reflection, the book offers an inside view of major ecumenical events across Rome, Constantinople, and beyond. From sacred liturgies at St. Peter’s tomb to theological discussions and pilgrimages, each chapter reveals the author’s unique role in fostering unity between Eastern and Western Christian traditions. This volume is both a spiritual journey and a historical record of faith, friendship, and unforgettable encounters that shaped modern ecumenical relations.
