‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’
First Reading Daniel 7:9-10,13-14 His robe was white as snow
I gazed into the visions of the night. And I saw, coming on the
clouds of heaven, one like a son of man. He came to the one of great age and
was led into his presence. On him was conferred sovereignty, glory and kingship, and men of all peoples, nations and languages became
his servants. His sovereignty is an eternal sovereignty which shall never pass
away, nor will his empire ever be destroyed.
Responsorial Psalm: The Lord is king, most high above all the earth.
Second Reading 2 Peter 1:16-19 We heard this ourselves, spoken from heaven
It was not any cleverly invented myths that we were repeating when we brought you the knowledge of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; we had seen his majesty for ourselves. He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when the Sublime Glory itself spoke to him and said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour.’ We heard this ourselves, spoken from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
So we have confirmation of what was said in prophecies; and you will be right to depend on prophecy and take it as a lamp for lighting a way through the dark until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.
Gospel Matthiew 17:1-9 His face shone like the sun
Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain where they could be alone. There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as white as the light. Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they were talking with him. Then Peter spoke to Jesus. ‘Lord,’ he said ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and from the cloud there came a voice which said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’ When they heard this the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear. But Jesus came up and touched them. ‘Stand up,’ he said ‘do not be afraid.’ And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but only Jesus.
As they came down from the mountain Jesus gave them this order, ‘Tell no one about the vision until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.’
Jesus, I trust in you. Virgin Mary, pray for me. Saint Joseph, pray for me. Saint. My Angel guardian, pray for me. Let us pray the Holy Rosary. Hail Mary full of grace
AELF: TRANSFIGURATION
DU SEIGNEUR
« Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui je trouve ma joie : écoutez-le ! »
Évangile Matthieu 17, 1-9 «Son
visage devint brillant comme le soleil»
Jésus prit avec lui
Pierre, Jacques et Jean son frère, et il les emmena à l’écart, sur une haute
montagne. Il fut transfiguré devant eux ; son visage devint brillant comme le
soleil, et ses vêtements, blancs comme la lumière. Voici que leur apparurent
Moïse et Élie, qui s’entretenaient avec lui. Pierre alors prit la parole et dit
à Jésus : « Seigneur, il est bon que nous soyons ici ! Si tu le veux, je vais
dresser ici trois tentes, une pour toi, une pour Moïse, et une pour Élie. »Il parlait encore, lorsqu’une nuée lumineuse les couvrit de son ombre, et voici
que, de la nuée, une voix disait : « Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui je
trouve ma joie : écoutez-le ! » Quand ils entendirent cela, les
disciples tombèrent face contre terre et furent saisis d’une grande crainte.
Jésus s’approcha, les toucha et leur dit : « Relevez-vous et soyez sans crainte
! » Levant les yeux, ils ne virent plus personne, sinon lui, Jésus, seul.
En
descendant de la montagne, Jésus leur donna cet ordre : « Ne parlez de cette
vision à personne, avant que le Fils de l’homme soit ressuscité d’entre les
morts. »
Jésus, j'ai confiance en toi. Vierge Marie, priez pour moi. Saint Joseph, priez pour moi. Mon Ange gardien, priez pour moi. Prions le Saint Rosaire. Je vous salue Marie pleine de grâce. Cœur
