Pelosi Cites Epiphany, St. Francis as House Confirms Biden Win
Catholic San Francisco ^ | 1/7/21 | Mark Pattison

WASHINGTON -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi referenced the Epiphany, St. Francis of Assisi, and also uttered a prayer as the House of Representatives reconvened the night of Jan. 6 to confirm the Electoral College win of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. in the November presidential election.

The count had been interrupted by hundreds of marauders who breached the Capitol that afternoon, bringing the count to a halt.

"Today, Jan. 6, is the feast of the Epiphany," when the Christ Child was first revealed as a human beyond Mary and St. Joseph, Pelosi, D-California, said. "On this day of revelation, let us pray that this instigation to violence will provide an epiphany for our country to heal."

"In that spirit of healing, I evoke the song of Saint Francis. I usually do. St. Francis is the patron saint of my city of San Francisco, and song of St. Francis is our anthem: 'Lord, make me a channel of thy peace. Where there is darkness, may you bring light. Where there is hatred, let us bring love. Where there is despair, let us bring hope.'"

Later, near the end of her remarks, Pelosi, who is Catholic, said: "So on this holy day of Epiphany, let us pray. I'm a big believer in prayer. Let us pray that there will be peace on earth and that it will begin with us. Let us pray that God will continue to bless America with that."

Reaction by Catholic leaders to the Capitol breach -- the most serious since the British burned down the building in 1814 during the War of 1812 -- was swift.

Satan’s daughter indeed sees things, but they certainly are not of God or His Angels.

We can see clearly right through all this sanctimonious hogwash and holier than thou posturing of hypocrisy. Going to be weeping and gnashing of teeth as their rewards.

Nancy better get right with God before the Angel of death pays her a visit. None of what she desires now will matter then and in fact, will weigh around her neck like a millstone.

Let’s be honest. Joke Biden and the whore chosen as VP are not in any way legally elected. So let’s skip their “Inauguration” and just admit the USA has been stolen by enemies. Bath House Barry was never legally inaugurated because he, too, was illegal as hell. We, as US Citizens, have NO obligation to adhere to any laws rules set down under the illegal regime. Period. Stop paying taxes, stop being nice. Do what you need to do to protect you and yours. Period.
