SECOND READING
"This voice coming from heaven, we have heard it ourselves"
Reading of the second letter of Saint Peter the Apostle 1, 16-19
Beloved,
it is not by resorting to sophisticated imaginary narratives
that we have made known to you the power and the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
but it is by having been the eyewitnesses of his greatness.
For he received honor and glory from God the Father
when, from the magnificent glory,
a voice came to him , saying:
This is my Son, my beloved;
in him I have all my joy.
This voice coming from heaven,
we ourselves heard it
when we were with him on the holy mountain.
And so the prophetic word is confirmed for us;
you do well to fix your attention on her,
as on a lamp shining in a dark place
until day
dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
- Word of the Lord.
