Feast of the Transfiguration

The Transfiguration by Fra. Angelico

Evening Prayers (Vespers) on the Feast of the Transfiguration

Christ, by being transfigured you revealed the resurrection to your disciples before the passion had even taken place. We pray to you for your holy Church, labouring to serve the needs of the world:in her tribulations may she be constantly transfigured by joy at your victory.– Lighten our darkness, for you are our God.
