President Bush on Thursday urged Americans of all faiths to turn to prayer as they struggle through "this time of testing" after the terrorist attacks.

Bush said religious faith teaches tolerance, humility and the value of community service – all of which are needed to recover from Sept. 11 and vanquish terrorism.

"Every religion is welcomed in our country. All are practiced here. Many of our citizen profess no religion at all. Our country has never had an official faith. Yet we have all been witnesses, these past 21 weeks, to the power of faith to see us through the hurt and loss that has come on to the country," Bush said at the National Prayer Breakfast.

The breakfast is a 50-year tradition that brings lawmakers, foreign heads of state and spiritual leaders together in prayer. This year's event was filled with tributes to the heroes of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Ten representatives of the New York Fire Department were invited to the event, and Lisa Beamer addressed the group. She is the widow of Todd Beamer, 32, of Cranbury, N.J. He and a group of passengers on United Flight 93 apparently attacked the suicide hijackers in order to prevent their captors from crashing the plane into a building in Washington.
