On the Road to Emmaus

A relatively unknown holiday, August 6th is the Feast of the Transfiguration, which commemorates none other than the transfiguration of Jesus when he appeared with glory on the mountain before Peter, John and James, speaking with Moses and Elijah about his coming departure (Matthew 17:1ff; Mark 9:2ff; Luke 9:28ff).

Heavenly Father, whose beloved Son stood on the mountain dazzling white in the radiance of your glory: in the midst of our fears, direct our hearts to hear the words of him in whom your soul delights, that following his call, we might give our lives for him and for the gospel and stand unashamed when he returns in that same glory, through his name, Jesus the Messiah our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
