On the morning of Monday, June 8, Pope Leo XIV traveled to the Spanish Congress of Deputies, the lower house of parliament, as part of his apostolic journey in Spain. There, he delivered an address before the Spanish legislature.
He was received by Francina Armengol, Speaker of the Congress, and Pedro Rollán. Later, he was welcomed by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who accompanied him in procession to the parliamentary chambers, where the remaining members of parliament were waiting. Leo XIV was presented with a replica of a Book of Hours as a gift and commemorated his visit by signing the official book of honor.
