Bills Amended in the Senate August 20, 2024

This is my prayer to You, oh Lord—strike, strike at the root of penury in my heart.

Give the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.

Give the strength to make my love fruitful in service.

Give the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might.

Give the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.

And give me strength to surrender my strength to Your will with love.—AMEN.

_{(From Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore)}
