on Mount Tabor, O Lord, Thou

showed Thy foremost Disciples,
Peter, James and John, the Glory of
Thy Divine Appearance. For they
watched as Thy Garments shone as
white as light, and Thy Face was
more brilliant than the sun. But they
could not bear to behold Thine
Unapproachable Light, and they fell
to the ground. Then they heard a
Voice bearing Witness from Above:
This is My Beloved Son, Who has
come to the world to Save
mankind!

Who of old Conversed with Moses

on Mount Sinai through Symbols,
saying: I Am Who I Am, the One Who
Is! was Transfigured on Mount
Tabor today for His Disciples to
witness. And since He has assumed
human Nature in Himself, He
showed them the Original Beauty of
the Image. He presented Moses and
Elias as Witnesses of His Grace, and
Let them share in the Great Joy,
Prefiguring that which would follow
the Cross the Glorious, Saving
Resurrection.
Heavens belong to Thee, and the
Earth is Thine. Thou founded the
world and all its fullness.
When
David, the Ancestory of God,

Foresaw in the Spirit a long time ago,
that Thou, the Only Begotten Son,
would Visit mankind in the Flesh, he
invited all Creation to celebrate.
And he cried out prophetically:
Tabor and Hermon shall greatly
Rejoice in Thy Name! And now, O
Saviour, as Thou ascend that
Mountain with Thy Disciples, and as
Thou art Transfigured there, Thou
hast made our nature, darkened by
Adam, to shine brightly again,
Transforming it into the Glory and
Radiance of Thy Divinity. Wherefore,
we cry out to Thee: O Creator of all:
Glory to Thee, O Lord!

When Thou were Transfigured on
High
Mountain, O Saviour, having with
Thee those Paramount Disciples of
Thine, Thou shone forth with glory.
Thine Intention was to show that
those who attain the Height of Virtue
will also be counted worthy of Divine
Glory. Moses and Elias conversed
with Christ, to show that He is Lord
of the living and the dead, and that
the One Who spoke through the Law,
and the Prophets of old, was God. It
was to Him that the Voice of the
Father bore witness from the Bright
Cloud, saying: Listen to Him! He is

dead, Eternal Life.

His Mercy rules over us; and the

That
Mountain, which once was dark

and smokey, is now revered and
Holy, for Thy Feet stood upon it, O
Lord.
The Mystery, which was
hidden before all ages, was revealed
in latter days by Thy terrific
Transfiguration, to Peter, John and
James, who could not bear the
Shining Ray of Thy Face, nor the
Radiance of Thy Garments, so they
fell upon their faces, weighed down
to the ground. In a state of ecstasy,
they marvelled as they watched
Moses and Elias speaking with Thee
about what was going to happen to
Thee. Then the Voice of the Father
bore witness to Thee, and said: This
is My Beloved Son in Whom I Am
Well Pleased. Listen to Him Who
grants the world His Great Mercy.
