Friday, September 14, 2001: A National Day Of Prayer And
Remembrance
White
House-- Americans are being urged to take a few minutes today for
prayer. President Bush has designated this as a National Day of Prayer
and Remembrance for the victims of the terrorist attacks. He's asking
people to attend noon-time
services at churches, synagogues and mosques to pray for America. The
president
says Americans pray for healing and for the strength "to serve and
encourage
one another in hope and faith." In addition to the services, bells will
ring
at that hour. The president's proclamation also calls for candlelight
remembrance
vigils this evening. K-EYE: CBS Austin |
