The Transfiguration of the Lord (Feast)

Gloria

First Reading

Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14

9As I looked, thrones were placed and one that was ancient of days took his seat; his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, its wheels were burning fire.

10A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.

13I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.

14And to him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 97:1-2, 5-6, 9

1The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad!

2Clouds and thick darkness are round about him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

6The heavens proclaim his righteousness; and all the peoples behold his glory.

9For thou, O LORD, art most high over all the earth; thou art exalted far above all gods.

Second Reading

2 Peter 1:16-19

16For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

17For when he received honor and glory from God the Father and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,”

18we heard this voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.

19And we have the prophetic word made more sure. You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

Gospel

Mark 9:2-10

2And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them,

3and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them.

4And there appeared to them Eliʹjah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.

5And Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eliʹjah.”

6For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid.

7And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.”

8And suddenly looking around they no longer saw any one with them but Jesus only.

9And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead.

10So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.
