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 evening sky,
or spider’s
web;
in laborers, coffee growers,
in crossing guards,
in unhoused
people.
Let no part of your creation
be ever hidden from
the glow of your
earthly, Godly
presence.
Let us
find
you in
all things.
THE FIRST READING
Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14… (All) 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
nations;
over
our
own
hearts.
Amen.
THE SECOND READING
2 Peter 1:16-19You will do well to be attentive to it.
Listen!
We saw his majesty
and started talking about 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.
