"In the House, we have brought together lawmakers from across the spectrum, moderates and conservatives, to find a path forward. As a result, we will have a debate and votes on the House floor next week," Ryan said.

The House speaker reflected that when people face times of darkness, it is God that gives peace.

"He gives us a sense of wonder. He gives us the capacity to love unconditionally," Ryan noted.

"Whether we are Republican or Democrat or independent, it does not matter. We should all want our faith-based organizations to have the maximum freedom to carry out their missions ... whether it is changing lives ravaged by opioids, empowering people to find a steady job, or building charter schools so more children can get a decent education," he urged.
