Transfiguration of the Lord Feast
Mass of the Day
First Reading
Daniel 7: 9-10, 13-14
9As I watched, Thrones were set up and the Ancient of Days took his throne. His clothing was white as snow, the hair on his head like pure wool; His throne was flames of fire, with wheels of burning fire.
10A river of fire surged forth, flowing from where he sat; Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him, and myriads upon myriads stood before him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.
13As the visions during the night continued, I saw coming with the clouds of heaven One like a son of man. When he reached the Ancient of Days and was presented before him,
14He received dominion, splendor, and kingship; all nations, peoples and tongues will serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, his kingship, one that shall not be destroyed.

Gospel
Mark 9: 2-10
2After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them,
3and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them.
4Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus.
5Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here! Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified.
7Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; then from the cloud came a voice, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them. The Coming of Elijah.
9As 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.
10So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what rising from the dead meant.
