THE GOSPEL
Matthew 17:1-9His face shone like the sun.
O
Christ,
give us a glimpse.
Let us
find you shining like the sun,
like a sliver of the moon,
like a hummingbird,
or the dusky sky,
or the spider’s
web;
in laborers, in coffee tillers,
in junction guards,
in vagrant
people.
Let no part of your creation
be ever hidden from
the glow of your
earthy, Godly
presence.
Let us
find
you in
all the things
we see and hear.
THE FIRST READING
Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14… [A]ll peoples, nations, and languages serve him.
Son
of Man,
ancient ruler,
surging river of fire,
source of
perfect dominion,
and glory, and kingship,
reign now and forever
over countless,
tongues and
places;
over
our
hearts.
THE SECOND READING
2 Peter 1:16-19You will do well to be attentive to it.
Listen!
We beheld his majesty
but then we started building tents!
God stopped us with:
“This is my Son, my beloved,
in whom I am well
pleased.
Lord,
make us pause our working.
and just listen.
