A Reading
|
|
On August 6 the Church rejoices in the Transfiguration
on Mount Tabor of our Lord, the Christ.
|
|
Now about eight days after this had been said, he took with him Peter, John and
James and went up the mountain to pray. And it happened that, as he was praying,
the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing became sparkling white.
And suddenly there were two men talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah
appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which he was to
accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions were heavy with sleep, but
they woke up and saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As these
were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, ‘Master, it is wonderful for us to be here;
so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He
did not know what he was saying. As he was saying this, a cloud came and covered
them with shadow; and when they went into the cloud the disciples were
afraid. And a voice came from the cloud saying, ‘This is my Son, the Chosen
One. Listen to him.’ And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. The
disciples kept silence and at that time, told no one what they had seen. |

Let the People Tremble

Let them confess his Name, which is great and awesome;* he is the Holy One.

forever and ever. Amen.
