It is obvious that family and faith comes first for Eva Longoria.

The 40-year-old actress brought her older sister, Elizabeth, to see the person she wanted to meet in the world on Wednesday.

She shared a few photos from the exciting day at the White House as they were among 15K people to see Pope Francis speak in Washington DC.

Eva explained why the moment was so special as she explained it was a request from her sibling who happens to be mentally challenged.

Alongside a cute photo of the two of them the brunette beauty wrote to her 1.6million followers: 'A yr ago I asked my sister Liza "who do you most want to meet in the world?" She said "the Pope". And here we are! #PopeFrancis #Blessed #DC'

The two Longoria sisters have big smiles on their faces while holding up two small flags each: one American and the other being the flag of Vatican City.

It certainly seemed like the pair had some great seats at the event held on the South Lawn as the front of the White House could be seen in clear view.

Before the event Eva shared a split image of she with Elizabeth and another woman along with the programme for the event featuring the seal of the President Of THe United states on it.

She posted the picture with the sweet message: 'Life moment happening today! #HisHoliness #PopeFrancis #BlessedToBeHereWithMySisterLiza.'

Eva was dressed perfectly for the occasion as she sported a black wool coat featuring gold buttons on the sleeves.

Her brunette tresses were worn down into waves flowing over her shoulder as she let her natural good looks show with complimentary make-up topped

No doubt it was a thrill for Eva's older sister as she posted an image of Elizabeth receiving a special blessing from the Archbishop of Washington DC Donald Cardinal Wuerl.

In an interview with Parade magazine last year, Eva talked about her relationship with her older sister.

She said: 'She’s influenced every fiber of who I am today. Every decision we ever made was dictated with her in mind.

'My mom spent her whole life with Liza and became a special education teacher because of her.'
