In the Apostolic Palace, Pope Francis met with the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy.

During the meeting, the Speaker expressed President Biden's fondness for the Pope.

He considers you a close friend.

McCarthy presented Pope Francis with a commemorative plate.

This says the Congressional seal on it, but it's a plate.

The Pope explained that he keeps a medal that the President gave him on his desk.

Pope Francis returned the gesture, giving the Speaker of the House a metal statue of an olive branch as a sign of peace.

I will put this on my desk.

At the end of the meeting, the Pope gave McCarthy a medal celebrating his 10 years as successor to St. Peter before asking for his prayers.

I will see the President Tuesday and I'll tell him that you'll have a plan for him.

-Yes. Pray for me.

I will pray for you every day.

Pope Francis met with Joe Biden for the first during his presidency in 2021.
