Dear God, Thank you for my two eyes to see your beauty; Thank you for my one mouth to taste your goodness; Thank you for my two ears to hear your sacred Word; Thank you for my one nose to smell my favorite meal, given by your bounty; Thank you for my two hands to touch together in prayer; Most of all, thank you for my one heart, The place where you speak, To guide me in your love forever. 2800 19th Street NW Rochester, MN 55901 | (507) 424-1817 | rcsmn.org/thenest © 2020 Rochester Catholic Schools |
