The Transfiguration of the Lord – August 6
Father, at the Transfiguration in glory of your Only-begotten Son, You confirmed the mysteries of faith by the witness to Jesus of the prophets Moses and Elijah.
You foreshadowed there what we shall be when You bring our sonship to its perfection.
Grant that by listening to the voice of Jesus we may become heirs with Him, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
Concluding prayer Divine Office, August 6
