POSTCOMMUNION GRANT, we beseech ee, almighty God, that we may grasp with purified minds this most holy mystery of the Transfiguration of

y Son, which we keep with solemn rite. rough the same Jesus Christ, y Son …

PRÆSTA, quǽsumus, omní-potens Deus: ut sacrosáncta Fílii tui Transfiguratiónis mystéria, quæ solémni cele-brámus offício, purificátæ mentis intelligéntia conse-quámur. Per eúndem …

HE WORD of eternity, Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten

Thee, has had two echoes in time, at the Jordan and on Tabor; and God, who never repeats Himself, did not herein make an exception to the rule of saying but once what He says. For although the terms used on the two occasions are identical, they do not tend, as St. omas says, to the same end, but show the different ways in which man participates in the resemb-lance of the eternal filiation.

At the baptism of our Lord, where the mystery of the first regeneration was declared, as at the Transfigura-tion which manifested the second, the whole Trinity appeared: the Father in the voice, the Son in His Humanity, the Holy Ghost under the form, first of a dove, and afterwards of a bright cloud. For if in baptism this Holy Spirit confers innocence symbolized by the simplicity of the dove, in the

Resurrection he will give to the elect the brightness of glory and the refreshment after suffering which are signified by the luminous cloud.

But without waiting for the day when our Savior will renew our very bodies conformable to the bright glory of His own divine Body, the mystery of the Transfiguration is wrought in our souls already here on earth. It is of the present life that St. Paul says and the Church sings today: God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus [II Cor. 4:6]. Tabor, holy and divine mountain rivaling heaven, how can we help saying with Peter: “It is good for us to dwell on thy summit!”

Commentary from e Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger O.S.B. (1805-1875)

Proper Prayers of the Mass in the Extraordinary Form e Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ

This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased: hear ye Him.

INTROIT (Ps. 54. 17, 18, 20, 23) ILLUXÉRUNT coruscatióne tu orbi terræ: commóta est et contrémuit terra. Psalm. Quam dilécta tabernácula tua, Dó-mine virútum! concupíscit et déficit ánima mea in átria Dómini. ℣. Glória Patri, et Fíl-io, et Spirítui Sancto. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen. — Illuxérunt coruscatióne …

THY lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled. Ps. 83. 2, 3. How lovely are y tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. ℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. — y lightnings …

COLLECT DEUS, qui fídei sacraménta in Unigéniti tui gloriósa Transfig-uratióne patrum testimónio roborásti, et adoptiónem filiór-um perféctam voce delápsa in nube lúcida mirabíliter præsig-násti: concéde propítius; ut ipsíus Regis glóriæ nos coherédes effícias, et ejúsdem glóriæ tríbuas esse consórtes. Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum. Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus. Per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

O GOD, who in the glorious Transfigura-tion of ine only-begotten Son didst confirm the Mysteries of the faith by the witness of the fathers, and in the voice which came down from the shining cloud, didst wondrously foreshadow the perfect adoption of sons: vouchsafe in y loving kindness, to make us coheirs with this King of glory, and to grant that we may be made partakers of that same glory.

rough the same Jesus Christ, y Son, our Lord. Who liveth and reigneth …

EPISTLE From the Second Letter of Blessed Peter the Apostle, 1. 16-19.

DEARLY beloved: We have not followed artificial fables, when we made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; but having been made eyewitnesses of His greatness. For He received from God the Father honor and glory; this voice coming down to Him from the excellent glory, is is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear ye Him. And this voice we heard brought from heaven, when we were with Him in the holy mount. And we have the more firm prophetical word, whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts.

CARÍSSIMI: Non doctas fábulas secúti notam fécimus vobis Dómini nostri Jesu Christi virtútem et præsénti-am sed speculatóres facti illíus magnitúdinis. Accípi-ens enim a Deo Patre honór-em et glóriam, voce delápsa ad eum hujuscémodi a mag-nífica glória: Hic est Fílius meus diléctus, in quo mihi complácui, ipsum aúdite. Et hanc vocem nos audívimus de cœlo allátam, cum essé-mus cum ipso in monte sancto. Et habémus firmi-órem prophéticum sermón-em: cui bene fácitis attend-éntes, quasi lucérnæ lucénti in caliginóso loco, donec dies elucéscat, et lúcifer oriátur in córdibus vestris.

GRADUAL (Ps. 44. 3, 2) THOU art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in y lips. My heart hath uttered a good word. I speak my works to the King.

Alleluia, alleluia. (Wisd. 7. 26.) He is the brightness of eternal light, the unspotted mirror, and the image of His goodness. Alleluia.

SPECIÓSUS forma præ fíliis hóminum: diffúsa est grátia in lábiis tuis. ℣. Eructávit cor meum verbum bonum: dico ego ópera mea Regi.

Allelúia, allelúia. ℣. Can-dor est lucis ætérnæ, spécu-lum sine mácula, et imágo bonitátis illíus. Allelúia.

GOSPEL Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, 17. 1-9.

AT THAT TIME Jesus took Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: and He was transfigured before them. And His face did shine as the sun: and His garments became white as snow. And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with Him. And Peter answering said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if Thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud

IN ILLO TÉMPORE: Assúmpsit Jesus Petrum, et Jacóbum, et Joánnem fratrem ejus, et duxit illos in montem excel-sum seórsum: et transfigur-átus est ante eos. Et resplénd-uit fácies ejus sicut sol: vestiménta autem ejus facta sunt alba sicut nix. Et ecce apparuérunt illis Móyses et Elías cum eo loquéntes. Re-spóndens autem Petrus, dixit ad Jesum: Dómine, bonum est nos hic esse: si vis, faci-ámus hic tria tabernácula, tibi unum, Móysi unum, et Elíæ

Page 3 www.propria.org

unum. Adhuc eo loquénte, ecce, nubes lúcida obumbrávit eos. Et ecce vox de nube, dicens: Hic est Fílius meus diléctus, in quo mihi bene complácui: ipsum audíte. Et audiéntes discípuli, cecidérunt in fáciem suam, et timuérunt valde. Et accéssit Jesus, et tétigit eos, dixítque eis: Súrgi-te, et nolíte timére. Levántes autem óculos suos, néminem vidérunt nisi solum Jesum. Et descendéntibus illis de monte, præcépit eis Jesus, dicens: Némini dixéritis visiónem, donec Fílius hóminis a mórtuis resúrgat. — Credo.

overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: is is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye Him. And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face and were very much afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said to them: Arise, and fear not. And they lifting up their eyes saw no one, but only Jesus. And as they came down from the moun-tain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man until the Son of Man be risen from the dead. — Creed.

OFFERTORY (Ps. 111. 3) GLÓRIA et divítiæ in domo ejus: et justítia ejus manet in sǽculum sǽculi, allelúia.

GLORY and wealth are in His house: and His justice remaineth for ever and ever. Alleluia.

SECRET OBLÁTA, quǽsumus, Dómine, múnera, gloriósa Unigéniti tui Transfiguratiónes sanctífica: nosque a peccatórum máculis, splendóribus ipsíus illustra-tiónis emúnda. Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum …

HALLOW, O Lord, we beseech ee, the offerings we offer ee on the glorious Transfiguration of ine only-begotten Son, and by the brightness of His glory, cleanse us from the stains of sin. rough the same, our Lord …

THE COMMON PREFACE VERE dignum et justum est, ǽquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper, et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípo-tens, ætérne Deus: per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Ángeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potes-tátes. Cœli, cœlorúmque Virtú-tes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concelebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces, ut admítti júbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes: — Sanctus.

IT is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to ee, holy Lord, Father almighty, eternal God, through Christ our Lord: through Whom Angels praise y Majesty, Dominations worship, Powers stand in awe. e Heavens and the hosts of heaven with blessed Seraphim unite, exult, and celebrate; and we entreat that ou wouldst bid our voices too be heard with theirs, singing with lowly praise: — Sanctus.

COMMUNION (Matt. 17. 9) VISIÓNEM quam vidístis némi-ni dixéritis, donec a mórtuis resúrgat Fílius hóminis.

TELL the vision you have seen to no man, till the Son of Man be risen from the dead.
