Supporting the designation of a National Year of Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer.
This non-binding resolution (HRES 874) calls for designating a National Year of Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer. It expresses support for a symbolic observance where Americans would collectively pray, fast, and reflect on their "dependence upon the overruling power of God" and "repent of pride and selfishness." The resolution does not create legal requirements or policy changes; it is purely a symbolic gesture based on religious framing of American history and founding principles. It was introduced by Rep. Linda S. Rodgers (R-WA) in the 117th Congress (2021-2022).
