Mt 17:1-9
#	Douay-Rheims	Vulgate
1	And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:	et post dies sex adsumpsit Iesus Petrum et Iacobum et Iohannem fratrem eius et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum
2	And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.	et transfiguratus est ante eos et resplenduit facies eius sicut sol vestimenta autem eius facta sunt alba sicut nix
3	And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.	et ecce apparuit illis Moses et Helias cum eo loquentes
4	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.	respondens autem Petrus dixit ad Iesum Domine bonum est nos hic esse si vis faciamus hic tria tabernacula tibi unum et Mosi unum et Heliae unum
5	And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.	adhuc eo loquente ecce nubes lucida obumbravit eos et ecce vox de nube dicens hic est Filius meus dilectus in quo mihi bene conplacuit ipsum audite
6	And the disciples hearing fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.	et audientes discipuli ceciderunt in faciem suam et timuerunt valde
7	And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them: Arise, and fear not.	et accessit Iesus et tetigit eos dixitque eis surgite et nolite timere
8	And they lifting up their eyes, saw no one, but only Jesus.	levantes autem oculos suos neminem viderunt nisi solum Iesum
9	And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.	et descendentibus illis de monte praecepit Iesus dicens nemini dixeritis visionem donec Filius hominis a mortuis resurgat

A hymn based on the Gospel reading:

"'Tis Good, Lord, to Be Here"
by Joseph A. Robinson, 1858-(?)

1. 'Tis good, Lord, to be here,
Thy glory fills the night;
Thy face and garments, like the sun,
Shine with unborrowed light.

2. 'Tis good, Lord, to be here,
Thy beauty to behold
Where Moses and Elijah stand,
Thy messengers of old.

3. Fulfiller of the past,
Promise of things to be,
We hail Thy body glorified
And our redemption see.

4. Before we taste of death,
We see Thy kingdom come;
We fain would hold the vision bright
And make this hill our home.

5. 'Tis good, Lord, to be here.
Yet we may not remain;
But since Thou bidst us leave the mount,
Come with us to the plain.

Bump.

Let me just add that if anyone has been putting off going to reconciliation I urge you to go as soon as you can.

I am terrible about doing the sacrament myself but having gone today I feel so much better. I hope others can do so as well.
