Solemnity of the Transfiguration
Almighty God,
we praise You that You revealed Jesus to be Your
beloved, incarnate Son in His transfiguration before
He made His way to the cross for our salvation. We
pray that You would preserve us in the faith so that
we might always listen to Him alone for forgiveness
and salvation and remain continually thankful that
every good gift comes from You, for the sake of Your
Son, crucified and risen from the dead. Lord, in Your
mercy, hear our prayer.
There are still seats
available!

Father in heaven, all creation rightly gives you
praise, for all life and all holiness come from you. In
the plan of your wisdom she who bore the Christ in
her womb was raised body and soul in glory to be
with him in heaven. May we follow her example in
reflecting your holiness and join in her hymn of end-
less love and praise. We ask this through Christ our
Lord. Amen.
