The Transfiguration of Our Lord
THE TRANSFIGURATION OF OUR
LORD
In Epiphany we have seen Jesus teaching the will of
God with authority and proclaiming God’s kingdom in might. In Lent we will
follow him to the Cross. Jesus’ admonition to the apostles not to tell anyone
about the vision on the mountain until he has been raised from the dead was
mysterious to the disciples. However, none of us can understand the mystery of
Jesus’ identity as Messiah without traveling with him on the way of the Cross.
OLD TESTAMENT: Elijah’s assumption
into heaven is one of the most dramatic scenes in the Old Testament. The
tension builds throughout the entire narrative, and when Elijah is taken up,
his disciple Elisha utters the phrase, ‘The chariots of Israel and its
horsemen!’ God’s spirit, not weapons of war, is the true strength of Israel.
NEW
TESTAMENT: John’s Gospel proclaims Jesus as ‘the Light of the
World.’ St Paul tells the Corinthians, in a similar manner, that ‘the gospel of
the glory of Christ’ is light, and that Christ is the image of God. Human beings were created in the image of God, but in
the fall, the image of God is marred in us. Jesus reveals God’s glory to us and
true humanity.
GOSPEL: Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus on the Mount of
Transfiguration, representing the attestation of the Law and the Prophets to Jesus
as Lord. The Father’s voice echoes the words spoken over Jesus at his baptism,
but adds the imperative to listen.
Today marks the last use of the word ‘Alleluia’
until
the celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord at
the Easter Vigil.
We fast from the alleluia in public worship, just
as we fast from the
visual signs of our faith, as a way of marking the
forty days of the
Lenten season.

Please meditate on the
text of the hymn as it is played:
1 Oh,
wondrous type! Oh, vision fair
of
glory that the church may share,
which
Christ upon the mountain shows,
where
brighter than the sun he glows!
2 With
Moses and Elijah nigh
the
incarnate Lord holds converse high;
and
from the cloud, the Holy One
bears
record to the only Son.
3 With
shining face and bright array,
Christ
deigns to manifest today
what
glory shall be theirs above
who
joy in God with perfect love.
4 And
faithful hearts are raised on high
by
this great vision’s mystery;
for
which in joyful strains we raise
the
voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.
5 O
Father, with the eternal Son
and
Holy Spirit ever one,
we
pray you, bring us by your grace
to
see your glory face to face.

CALL TO THE WORD
Paul said:
We do not

we proclaim
Jesus Christ as Lord.
Let us hear the Word of the
Lord. 2 Corinthians 4:5
Sit
First Reading 2 Kings
2:1-12
1Now when the Lord was about to
take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way
from Gilgal. 2Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here; for the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel.” But
Elisha said, “As the Lord lives,
and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. 3The
company of prophets who were in Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do
you know that today the Lord will
take your master away from you?” And he said, “Yes, I know; keep silent.”
4Elijah said to him, “Elisha, stay here; for the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” But he
said, “As the Lord lives, and as
you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho. 5The
company of prophets who were at Jericho drew near to Elisha, and said to him,
“Do you know that today the Lord
will take your master away from you?” And he answered, “Yes, I know; be
silent.”
6Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here; for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” But he
said, “As the Lord lives, and as
you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on. 7Fifty
men of the company of prophets also went, and stood at some distance from them,
as they both were standing by the Jordan. 8Then Elijah took his
mantle and rolled it up, and struck the water; the water was parted to the one
side and to the other, until the two of them crossed on dry ground.
9When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me what I may
do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha said, “Please let me inherit a
double share of your spirit.” 10He responded, “You have asked a hard
thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it will be granted you;
if not, it will not.” 11As they continued walking and talking, a
chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them, and Elijah
ascended in a whirlwind into heaven. 12Elisha kept watching and
crying out, “Father, father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” But when
he could no longer see him, he grasped his own clothes and tore them in two
pieces.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
PSALM 50:1-6
The psalm is read
responsively between the pastor and the people.
Out of Zion,
perfect in beauty, God shines forth in glory. (vs.
2)
Out of Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth in glory.
1 The Lord,
the God of | gods, has spoken;*
he has called the earth from the
rising of the sun | to its setting.
2 Out of Zion, perfect | in
its beauty,*
God
reveals him- | self in glory.
3 Our God will come and will | not keep silence;*
before him there is a consuming
flame,
and round about him a | raging storm.
4 He calls the heavens and the
earth | from above*
to
witness the judgment | of his people.
5 "Gather before me my | loyal followers,*
those who have made a covenant
with me
and sealed | it with sacrifice."
6 Let the heavens declare the
rightness | of his cause;*
for
God him- | self is judge.
Out
of Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth in glory.
Second Reading 2
Corinthians 4:3-6
3Even if our gospel is veiled,
it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4In their case the god of
this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing
the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5For
we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as
your slaves for Jesus’ sake. 6For it is the God who said, “Let light
shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

VERSE
Alleluia. You are
the fairest of the sons of men;
grace is poured upon your lips. Alleluia.
Psalm 45:2
Gospel Mark 9:2-9
The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark.
Glory to you, O Lord.
2Six days later, Jesus took
with him Peter and 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 one on earth could bleach them. 4And
there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. 5Then
Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three
dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6He did
not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7Then a cloud
overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, “This is my Son, the
Beloved; listen to him!” 8Suddenly when they looked around, they saw
no one with them any more, but only Jesus.
9As they were coming down the
mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after
the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise
to you, O Christ.

CONFESSION OF
FAITH
The pastor and people confess the faith of the Church in the words of the
Nicene Creed.
X At the words ‘For us and for our salvation,’ and
continuing through ‘and was made man,’ a solemn bow is appropriate to praise the incarnation of our Lord.
We believe in one
God,
the
Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven
and earth,
of all that is,
seen and unseen.
We believe in
one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the
Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were
made.
X For us and
for our salvation
he came down
from heaven;
by the power of
the Holy Spirit
he became
incarnate from the virgin Mary, and
was made man. X
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered
death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in
accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into
heaven
and
is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to
judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom
will have no end.
We believe in
the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and
the Son.
With the Father and the Son he
is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the
prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic
and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one Baptism for
the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of
the dead,
and the life of
the world to come. Amen
PRAYERS OF THE CHURCH
Let us pray for the whole
people of God in Christ Jesus, and for all people according to their needs.
Silence is kept.
Let the whole Church listen to the words of Christ,
the light of the world. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Let ministers and teachers faithfully proclaim
Jesus Christ as Lord. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Let our faith family serve each other and all for
Jesus’ sake. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Let all who serve the public trust execute their
offices with faithfulness and justice. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Let those whose visions are clouded by unbelief,
despair, or injuries done by those acting in the name of the Church come to
live in the light of the merciful Lord. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Let those in darkness of mind; those in poverty;
the sick, the dying, the grieving, and all who are in any need know the light
of your truth , the overshadowing of your grace and your voice of mercy and
love.
The pastor reads the names
submitted for prayer.
The people are invited to
offer spoken or silent petitions.
Lord, in your
mercy,
hear our prayer.
Rejoicing in the
fellowship of all the saints, let us go forward with eager steps until we also
come to see the radiance of your glory. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Into
your hands, Father, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in your steadfast
love, through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
Peace
The peace of the Lord be with you always.
And also with you.
The people exchange a sign of peace
with the simple words, Peace be with you.

PRAYER
OF PREPARATION
Holy God,
receive all we
bring before you this day,
and bring us
also to that radiant glory
which we see in
the transfigured face
of Jesus Christ
our Lord.
Amen
GREAT THANKSGIVING
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give him thanks and
praise.
It is indeed
right and salutary that we should at all times and in all places offer thanks
and praise to you, O Lord, holy Father, through Christ our Lord.
On this day
he revealed his glory before chosen witnesses, and filled with divine splendor
the human flesh in which he is one with us. In this way, he prepared the
disciples to bear the scandal of the cross and showed that in the Church, his
body, the same glory would be fulfilled that shone forth from him, its head.
And so,
with Moses and Elijah, Peter, James and John; with the Church on earth and the
hosts of heaven, we praise your name and join their unending hymn:
Holy,
holy, holy LORD, God of power and might!
Heaven
and earth are full of your glory;
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!
Hosanna in the highest! Isaiah 6:3, Matthew 21:9
Holy God, mighty
Lord, gracious Father:
Endless is your mercy and
eternal your reign.
You have filled
all creation with light and life;
heaven and earth are full of
your glory.
Through Abraham
you promised to bless all nations.
You rescued Israel, your chosen
people.
Through the
prophets you renewed your promise;
and, at this end of all the
ages, you sent your Son,
who in words and deeds
proclaimed your kingdom
and was obedient to your will,
even to giving his life.
In the night in
which he was betrayed,
our Lord Jesus took bread, and
gave thanks;
broke it, and gave it to his
disciples, saying:
Take and eat; this is my body,
given for you.
Do this for the
remembrance of me.
Again, after
supper, he took the cup, gave thanks,
and gave it for all to drink,
saying:
This cup is the new covenant in
my blood,
shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin.
Do this for the
remembrance of me.
For as often as
we eat of this bread and drink from this cup
we proclaim the Lord's death
until he comes.
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will
come again.
Therefore,
gracious Father, with this bread and cup
we remember the life our Lord offered for us.
And, believing the witness of his resurrection,
we await his coming in power
to share with us the great and
promised feast
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Send now, we
pray, your Holy Spirit,
the spirit of our Lord and of
his resurrection,
that we who receive the Lord's
body and blood
may live to the praise of your
glory
and receive our inheritance with
all your saints in light.
Amen. Come, Holy Spirit.
Join our prayers
with those of your servants
of every time and every place,
and unite them with the ceaseless petitions of our great high priest
until he comes as victorious Lord of all.
Through
him, with him, in him,
in
the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all
honor and glory is yours,
almighty
Father, now and forever. Amen
Christ is in our midst.
By the power of the Spirit,
we pray to his Father, saying:
Our
Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy
name,
thy kingdom
come,
thy will be
done,
on
earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily
bread;
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive
those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us
from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory,
forever and
ever. Amen
Behold, it is good for us to be here;
for here our Lord Jesus makes his dwelling with us.
Thanks be to God. Mark 9:5
We adore Christ with the words of the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God).
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world;
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world;
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world;
Grant us peace.

heaven,
O food to pilgrims
given,
O manna from above:
feed with the blessed
sweetness
of your divine
completeness
the souls that want
and need your love.
2 O fount of grace
redeeming,
O river ever
streaming
from Jesus' wounded
side:
come now, your love
bestowing
on thirsting souls,
and flowing
till all are fully
satisfied.
3 We love you, Jesus,
tender,
in all your hidden
splendor
within these means of
grace.
Oh, let
the veil be riven,
and our clear eye in
heaven
behold your glory
face to face.

FAREWELL to alleluia
Brothers and
sisters in Christ, on Ash Wednesday we will begin our solemn Lenten journey to

but our rejoicing during Lent is tempered by our reflection upon our Lord’s
suffering. Therefore, we omit our most jubilant songs during this season,
including the song Alleluia, which
means, ‘Praise the Lord.’ Now for a time we shall say farewell to Alleluia. May the observance of Lent
edify your soul, and prepare you to sing Alleluia
once again with renewed gladness at the Easter celebration.

people.
And Alleluia is our song.

A
time to weep and a time to laugh.
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
A
time to keep silence and a time to speak.
