Transfiguration of the Lord - Feast

Book of Daniel

7,9-10.13-14.

As I watched : Thrones were set up and the Ancient One took his throne. His clothing was bright as snow, and the hair on his head as white as wool ; His throne was flames of fire, with wheels of burning fire.
A surging stream of fire flowed out from where he sat; Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him, and myriads upon myriads attended him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.
As the visions during the night continued, I saw One like a son of man coming, on the clouds of heaven; When he reached the Ancient One and was presented before him,
He received dominion, glory, and kingship; nations and peoples of every language serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed.

Psalms

97(96),1-2.5-6.9.

The LORD is king; let the earth rejoice;
let the many islands be glad.
Clouds and darkness are round about him,
justice and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of all the earth.
The heavens proclaim his justice,
and all peoples see his glory.
You, O LORD, are the Most High over all the earth,
exalted far above all gods.

second Letter of Peter

1,16-19.

Beloved: We 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.
For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that unique declaration came to him from the majestic glory, "This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased."
We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven while we were with him on the holy mountain.
Moreover, we possess the prophetic message that is altogether reliable. You will do well to be attentive to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

9,28b-36.

Jesus took Peter, John, and James and went up the mountain to pray.
While he was praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white.
And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah,
who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem.
Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." But he did not know what he was saying.
While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the cloud.
Then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my chosen Son; listen to him."
After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen.

St. Hormisdas(Pope († 523))

SAINT HORMISDAS Pope ( 523) St. Hormisdas was the Pope from July 26, 514 to August 6, 523. In Italy at the time, Anastasius and Justin were emperors of the East and Theodoric ruled in the West. St. Hormisdas was a native of Frusino in Campania, southwestern Italy. The son he had before entering the priesthood would go on become the future Pope Silverius. The memorable event of his pontificate was the restoration of communion between Rome and Constantinople, which had been interrupted since 484 in connection with the Eutychian heresy. St. Hormisdas passed away in 523, having held the see 9 years and 11 days. All the popes during the schism were canonized except for Pope Anastasius. St. Hormisdas' extant writings consist mainly of letters.
