Reading 2 and//www.usccb.org/bible/2peter/1:16 2 PT 1:16-19 BelovedandWe did not follow cleverly devised mythswhen we made known to youthe power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty.For he received honor and glory from God the Fatherwhen that unique declaration came to him from the majestic glory, This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased.”We ourselves heard this voice come from heavenwhile we were with him on the holy mountain.Moreover, we possess the prophetic message that is altogether reliable.You will do well to be attentive to it,as to a lamp shining in a dark place,until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Alleluia and//www.usccb.org/bible/matthew/17:5 MT 17:5C R.Alleluia, alleluia.This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleasedlisten to him.R.Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel and//www.usccb.org/bible/mark/9and2 MK 9and2-10 Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John,and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves.And he was transfigured before them,and his clothes became dazzling white,such as no fuller on earth could bleach them.Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses,and they were conversing with Jesus.Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, Rabbi, it is good that we are here!Let us make three tentsandone for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified.Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over themfrom the cloud came a voice, This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyonebut Jesus alone with them.As they were coming down from the mountain,he charged them not to relate what they had seen to anyone,except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.So they kept the matter to themselves,questioning what rising from the dead meant.
