A prayer for Transfiguration of the Lord Sunday

Church of the Transfiguration - Mt. Tabor

Transforming and Holy God ... The glory of your presence is much too brilliant for our stammering words to make sense in telling others. We find ourselves face down in awe and yet these moments truly do become our faith story. 

With great love, you have whispered "Shhh... Listen." With tremendous love, Jesus lifts us up and veils your holy radiance once more so that we might keep our eyes upon him. And with unimaginable love, your Son walks to the cross. 

O God, awaken us. Help us see your presence with a brilliance that is unmistakable. Be with us in our silence as we soon prepare to step out on our Lenten journey. Form our sentences in your most perfect of timing, sending us out to tell what we have witnessed as truth. Give us blessed eyes to see your Holy Presence around us and a renewed understanding of what you would have us tell others.   Amen.
