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 Matthew

17,1-9.

Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light.
And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him.
Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him."
When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate and were very much afraid.
But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Rise, and do not be afraid."
And when the disciples raised their eyes, they saw no one else but Jesus alone.
As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, "Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."

St. Hormisdas(Pope († 523))

SAINT HORMISDAS Pope ( 523) St. Hormisdas served as 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, which give insight into his purified language and love for Jesus and the Church.
