    and I will bless you;
    I will make your name great,
    so that you will be a blessing.
    I will bless those who bless you

    All the communities of the earth
    shall find blessing in you."

    Our soul waits for the LORD,
    who is our help and our shield.
    May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us
    who have put our hope in you.
    R/
    Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    2 tim 1:8b-10

    Beloved:
    Bear your share of hardship for the gospel
    with the strength that comes from God.
    He saved us and called us to a holy life,
    not according to our works
    but according to his own design
    and the grace bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before time began,
    but now made manifest
    through the appearance of our savior Christ Jesus,
    who destroyed death and brought life and immortality
    to light through the gospel.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    mt 17:1-9

    Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother,
    and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
    And he was transfigured before them;
    his face shone like the sun
    and his clothes became white as light.
    And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them,
    conversing with him.
    Then Peter said to Jesus in reply,
    "Lord, it is good that we are here.
    If you wish, I will make three tents here,
    one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
    While he was still speaking, behold,
    a bright cloud cast a shadow over them,
    then from the cloud came a voice that said,
    "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased;
    listen to him."
    When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate
    and were very much afraid.
    But Jesus came and touched them, saying,
    "Rise, and do not be afraid."
    And when the disciples raised their eyes,
    they saw no one else but Jesus alone.
    As they were coming down from the mountain,
    Jesus charged them,
    "Do not tell the vision to anyone
    until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
