The bishops also presented the Pope with a painting that included several portraits of religious.<\/p>\n
After posing for a photo with the image, they prayed together.<\/p>\n
The group laughed and joked with the Pope as he handed them small gifts. And like that, the high point of their 'ad limina\u00e2?\u009d visit came to a close.<\/p>\n
