Kyrie Confession
Your unfailing kindness, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds:
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Your righteousness is like the strong mountains, and your justice as the great deep:
Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy.
For with you is the well of life and in your light shall we see light:
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Collect
Father in heaven,
whose Son Jesus Christ was wonderfully transfigured
before chosen witnesses upon the holy mountain,
and spoke of the exodus he would accomplish at Jerusalem:
give us strength so to hear his voice and bear our cross
that in the world to come we may see him as he is;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
First Reading
Daniel 7.9-
9As I watched, thrones were set in place, and an Ancient One took his throne; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and its wheels were burning fire. 10A stream of fire issued and flowed out from his presence. A thousand thousand served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood attending him. The court sat in judgement, and the books were opened. 13As I watched in the night visions, I saw one like a human being coming with the clouds of heaven. And he came to the Ancient One and was presented before him. 14To him was given dominion and glory and kingship, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and his kingship is one that shall never be destroyed.
Psalm 97
R You, Lord, are most high over all the earth.
1 The Lord is king: let the earth rejoice; *
let the multitude of the isles be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him; *
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him *
and burns up his enemies on every side. R
4 His lightnings lit up the world; *
the earth saw it and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, *
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens declared his righteousness *
and all the peoples have seen his glory. R
7 Confounded be all who worship carved images
and delight in mere idols. *
Bow down before him, all you gods.
8 Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced, *
because of your judgements, O Lord.
9 For you, Lord, are most high over all the earth; *
you are exalted far above all gods. R
10 The Lord loves those who hate evil; *
he preserves the lives of his faithful
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light has sprung up for the righteous *
and joy for the true of heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous *
and give thanks to his holy name. R
Second Reading
2 Peter 1.16-
16We did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17For he received honour and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, ‘This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.’ 18We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain.
19So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia, alleluia. Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Alleluia.
Gospel
Luke 9.28-
28 Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. 29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. 30 Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him. 31 They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. 33 Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, ‘Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.’ Peter did not know what he said. 34While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud. 35Then from the cloud came a voice that said, ‘This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!’ 36When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the things they had seen.
Post Communion
Holy God,
we see your glory in the face of Jesus Christ:
may we who are partakers at his table
reflect his life in word and deed,
that all the world may know his power to change and save.
This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Blessing
Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
fill you with radiance and scatter the darkness from your path. Amen.
Christ, the Sun of Righteousness,
gladden your eyes and warm your heart. Amen.
Christ, the Dayspring from on high,
draw near to guide your feet into the way of peace. Amen.
And the blessing of God almighty,
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
be among you and remain with you always. Amen.
