Opening
O God, reach out to help me. O Lord, hasten to assist me. — From Psalm 70
Hymn
On the mountain, glory breaking, Christ is shining, pure and true. Speak, O Father, we are waiting; We would listen, Lord, to You. In the valley, still beside us, Be our courage, be our way. Quiet flame of love, go with us Through the ordinary day. — Original, Prayer on Fire
Psalmody
Antiphon
On the mountain and in the valley, remain our light.
Psalm
The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
Psalm 26:1, 4 · Catholic Public Domain Version (public domain)
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Antiphon
On the mountain and in the valley, remain our light.
Reading
Revelation 21:10, 23 And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain. And he showed me the Holy City Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine in it. For the glory of God has illuminated it, and the Lamb is its lamp. — Revelation 21:10, 23 · Catholic Public Domain Version (public domain)
Reflection
Today the Church remembers The Transfiguration of the Lord. Let this hour not be information about holiness, but an invitation into it. Ask for one grace you need, and offer one act of love you can give before the day ends.
Intercession
For the Church, that we may witness with courage and gentleness. For those who seek the Lord with tears, that they may hear their name spoken in love. For the poor and the forgotten, that Christ's friends may serve them with joy. For our household and those we carry in prayer — Lord, have mercy.
Closing prayer
Holy Spirit, seal what you have begun in me. Stay with me in work and rest, in joy and trial. Amen.
Silence
If you can, rest in quiet for half a minute before you rise.
