Praying with the President

"I gave him a firm handshake and said, on behalf of our great clergy I'd like to welcome you to Pittsburgh," Luisi recalled saying. He then asked Bush, "Might I pray with you?"

Bush answered, "Father, a lot of people are praying for me now, and I appreciate that," and then instinctively nodded his head in prayer.

Though not Catholic, Bush has been vocal about his Christianity throughout his term.
