Responsorial Psalm Psalm 97:1-2, 5-6, 9
Read in the CPDV: Psalm 97 (96 in the Vulgate)
Second Reading 2 Peter 1:16-19
16For it was not by following fanciful doctrines that we made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were made eyewitnesses of his greatness.
17For he received honor and glory from God the Father, whose voice descended to him from the magnificent glory: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
18We also heard this voice conveyed from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19And so, we have an even firmer prophetic word, to which you would do well to listen, as to a light shining within a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar rises, in your hearts.

Gospel Luke 9:28b-36
28And it happened that, about eight days after these words, he took Peter and James and John, and he ascended onto a mountain, so that he might pray.
29And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his vestment became white and shining.
30And behold, two men were talking with him. And these were Moses and Elijah, appearing in majesty.
31And they spoke of his departure, which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.
32Yet truly, Peter and those who were with him were weighed down by sleep. And becoming alert, they saw his majesty and the two men who were standing with him.
33And it happened that, as these were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus: “Teacher, 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.” For he did not know what he was saying.
34Then, as he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And as these were entering into the cloud, they were afraid.
35And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
36And while the voice was being uttered, Jesus was found to be alone. And they were silent and told no one, in those days, any of these things, which they had seen.

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.
