The Transfiguration of the Lord
August 6thThe Divinity of Christ was made manifest to Sts. Peter, James and John when Jesus appeared before them on Mount Tabor and his face and clothing shone radiantly. His appearance before the Apostles was a confirmation to them of his relation to the Church and his role as the Son of God. A Feast in honor of the Transfiguration has been celebrated in the Christian Churches of the East since the fifth century. In the Middle Ages, as interest grew in the Holy Land and the various sites connected with the life of Jesus, this Feast was established in the Western Roman Empire.
Lord Jesus Christ,
Through your transfiguration on the mount, strengthen our hearts lest they be broken by the scandal of the Cross. Enlightened by your grace, may we share in the brightness of your glory.Prayer of St. Francis Lord, make me and instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.
Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, in pardoning that we are pardoned, and in dying that we are born.
