Ever-present Lord, who will never leave or forsake us, you revealed to Peter, James, and John the glory of the Son on the mountain, showing to them what how your love can transform our mortal frames into glorified bodies. Teach us to listen to his words that we, too, would be transformed by your love and able to love others with pure hearts, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ‘Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, “This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!”‘ – Mark 9:7
