House Chaplain casts out darker spirits

After what he called a contentious week House Chaplain Rev Patrick Conroy felt compelled to expel what appeared to be darker spirits at play in the chamber with a special prayer Thursday morning

That contentiousness resulted from how the House should respond to President Trumps tweets a week ago Sunday telling four freshmen Democratic black congresswomen that they should go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came and then come back and show us how it is done rather than loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States how to run the government

While all four have expressed anti-American sentiment only one of the four Ilhan Omar of Minnesota was born outside America in Somalia Africa in particular before she became an American citizen The other three -- Ayanna Pressley of MassachusettsAlexandria Cortez of New Yorkand Rashida Tlaib of Michigan were born in America

Listen now to the prayer of House Chaplain Conroy

In Your most holy name I now cast out all spirits of darkness from this chamber spirits not from You I cast out the spirit of discouragement which deadens the hope of those who are of goodwill I cast out the spirit of petty divisiveness which clouds the sense and the desire to be of fruitful productivity in addressing the issues more appropriately before this House
