96 This is my prayer to thee, my lord;– strike, strike at the root of all poverty in my heart. Give me the strength to lightly bear my joys and sorrows. Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service. Give me the strength never to disown the poor and bend my  before insolent might. Give me the strength to raise my mind high above all daily trifles. And give me the strength to surrender my strength to they will with love. 74
