Aug 6: The Challenge to Manifest the Lord

Fra Angelico: The Transfiguration
Convento di San Marco, Florence, 1440-41

Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord

Gospel: Mt 17:1-9

And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white (NRSV, Mt 17:2).

Father, you only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus, so manifested your life and your power that it radiated out from him to all around him. May we also say “yes” to the gift of your life that it too may fills us, transfigure us, and go out from us to others.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen
