until we come to you again; for Aaron and Hur are with you;

I will announce the Lord’s decree, that which he has spoken:
‘You are my son, this day have I begotten you.
7
‘Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance:
the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

‘You may break them with a rod of iron:
and shatter them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.’

Now therefore be wise, O kings:
be advised, you that are judges of the earth.
10
Serve the Lord with awe, and govern yourselves in fear and
trembling:
lest he be angry, and you perish in your course.

For his wrath is quickly kindled:
blessed are those that turn to him for refuge.
Second Reading: 2 Peter 1:16-21
16
For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made
known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but
we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17For he received honour
and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to
him by the Majestic Glory, saying, ‘This is my Son, my Beloved,
with whom I am well pleased.’ 18We ourselves heard this voice
come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain.
19
So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You
will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark
place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20
First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of
scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21because no
prophecy ever came by human will, but men and women moved by
the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
For the word of the Lord: Thanks be to God
The Gospel: Matthew 17:1-9
The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew
chapter seventeen, beginning at the first verse.
Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ
1
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother
John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. 2And he was
transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his
clothes became dazzling white. 3Suddenly there appeared to them
Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4Then Peter said to Jesus, ‘Lord,
it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings
here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.’ 5While he was
still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and
from the cloud a voice said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; with him
I am well pleased; listen to him!’ 6When the disciples heard this,
they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. 7But Jesus came
and touched them, saying, ‘Get up and do not be afraid.’ 8And
when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.
9
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them,
‘Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been
raised from the dead.’
For the Gospel of the Lord: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Pew Reflections for the Transfiguration
In his transfiguration, Jesus was transformed in the presence of three disciples
and shown as God in human flesh. Why did this happen in front of them? It
was to provide an encouragement to Jesus as he faced death on the cross and
to announce to the disciples that Jesus had to suffer on the cross. It was also
God’s way of showing that Jesus was his true son and chosen to redeem the
human race. As we head into Lent it is a good time to reflect on the true
meaning of Easter.
• Pray that people will remember the true spiritual meaning of Easter and
reflect on it rather than see it as just a holiday and time to eat Easter
eggs.
• Give thanks for the opportunity to deepen your spiritual life this
coming Lent by attending a Lenten Study, reading spiritual books, or
by praying more regularly.
