First ReadingJames 3:1-10
1My brothers, not many of you should choose to become teachers, knowing that you shall receive a stricter judgment.
2For we all offend in many ways. If anyone does not offend in word, he is a perfect man. And he is then able, as if with a bridle, to lead the whole body around.
3For so we put bridles into the mouths of horses, in order to submit them to our will, and so we turn their whole body around.
4Consider also the ships, which, though they are great and may be driven by strong winds, yet they are turned around with a small rudder, to be directed to wherever the strength of the pilot might will.
5So also the tongue certainly is a small part, but it moves great things. Consider that a small fire can set ablaze a great forest.
6And so the tongue is like a fire, comprising all iniquity. The tongue, stationed in the midst of our body, can defile the entire body and inflame the wheel of our nativity, setting a fire from Hell.
7For the nature of all beasts and birds and serpents and others is ruled over, and has been ruled over, by human nature.
8But no man is able to rule over the tongue, a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9By it we bless God the Father, and by it we speak evil of men, who have been made in the likeness of God.
10From the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so!
1And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter, and James, and John; and he led them separately to a lofty mountain alone; and he was transfigured before them.
2And his vestments became radiant and exceedingly white like snow, with such a brilliance as no fuller on earth is able to achieve.
3And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were speaking with Jesus.
4And in response, Peter said to Jesus: “Master, it is good for us to be here. And so let us make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5For he did not know what he was saying. For they were overwhelmed by fear.
6And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my most beloved Son. Listen to him.”
7And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them.
8And as they were descending from the mountain, he instructed them not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until after the Son of man will have risen again from the dead.
9And they kept the word to themselves, arguing about what “after he will have risen from the dead” might mean.
10And they questioned him, saying: “Then why do the Pharisees and the scribes say that Elijah must arrive first?”
11And in response, he said to them: “Elijah, when he will arrive first, shall restore all things. And in the manner that it has been written about the Son of man, so must he suffer many things and be condemned.
12But I say to you, that Elijah also has arrived, (and they have done to him whatever they wanted) just as it has been written about him.”

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.
In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
