The lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled. (Psalm) How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts! my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. Glory be to the Father. Thy lightnings...
O God, Who in the glorious Transfiguration of Thine only-begotten Son didst confirm the mysteries of the faith by the witness of the fathers, and in the voice which came down from the shining cloud, didst wondrously foreshow the perfect adoption of sons: vouchsafe in Thy loving kindness, to make us coheirs with this King of glory, and to grant that we may be made partakers of that same glory. Through the same our Lord.
Dearly beloved: We have not by following artificial fables, when we made known to you the power, and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; but having been made eyewitnesses of His greatness. For He received from God the Father, honor and glory: this voice coming down to Him from the excellent glory. This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him. And this voice we heard brought from heaven, when we were with Him in the holy mount. And we have the more firm prophetical word, whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.
Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in Thy lips. My heart hath uttered a good word. I speak my works to the King.
Alleluia, alleluia. He is the brightness of eternal light, the unspotted mirror, and the image of His goodness. Alleluia.
At that time Jesus took Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: And He was transfigured before them. And His face did shine as the sun: and His garments became white as snow. And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with Him. And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if Thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. And as He was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased: hear ye Him.
And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid. And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them, Arise, and fear not. And they lifting up their eyes saw no one but only Jesus. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
Glory and wealth are in His house: and His justice remaineth for ever and ever. Alleluia.
Hallow, O Lord, we beseech Thee, the offerings we offer Thee on the glorious Transfiguration of Thine only-begotten Son, and by the brightness of His glory, cleanse us from the stains of sin. Through the same our Lord.
Tell the vision you have seen to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
Grant, we beseech Thee, almighty God, that we may grasp with purified minds this most holy mystery of the Transfiguration of Thy Son, which we keep with solemn rite. Through the same our Lord.
