Thine Unapproachable Divinity on
the Mountain of Thy Transfiguration,
O Unoriginate Christ, they were
changed by Divine Ecstasy. As a
Bright Cloud shone all around them
they heard the Fathers Voice,

Today 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!
Now and ever, and to the Ages of

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
the One Who despoiled Hades
through the Cross, and granted the
dead, Eternal Life.
His Mercy rules over us; and the
Truth of the Lord endures forever.
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.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit, now and
forever, and to the Ages of ages.
Amen
Prefiguring Thy Resurrection, O Christ
our God, Thou took Thy Three
Disciples with Thee Peter, James
and John and Thou went up Mount
Tabor. As Thou were Transfigured,
in Light. O Logos, Thy Disciples

The Lord spoke to Moses,
READER
Face to face, as if speaking to his
Friend.
And he returned to the camp Joshua,
the Son of Nun, his assistant, did not
leave the Tabernacle.
And Moses said to the Lord: Behold!
Thou said to me: Lead these People.
Thou hast not shown me whom Thou
wilt send with me.
Thou said to me Thou knowest me
above all others, and Thou Favours
me.
If I have found Favour in Thy Sight,
Reveal Thyself to me, that, seeing, I
may know Thee - that I might find
Favour in Thy Sight, and that I may
know that this Great Nation is Thy
People.
And the Lord said to him: I Myself will
go before Thee, and grant Thee
rest.
And he said to Him: If Thou Thyself
dost not go up with us, do not take
me up there.
And how shall it be truly known that
both I and these people have found
Favour with Thee, unless Thou goest
with us?
I and Thy People shall be
Glorified beyond all Nations, as
many as are upon the Earth.
The Lord said to Moses: And
according to Thy word, which
Thou hast spoken, I will do so.
Thou hast found Grace in My Sight,
and I know Thee above all others.
with My Glory, and call by My
Name, the Lord, before Thee, and
will have Mercy on whom I will
have Mercy, and have Pity on
whom I have Pity.
OF CHRIST 5-6 AUGUST 11.
