Splendor On Sinai, Tabor And The Eucharist

O God of everlasting love, You spoke from the cloud on Sinai and on Tabor: reveal Yourself within the cloud of faith to all who seek to know You.

And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned (shining) from the conversation of the Lord. 
~Exodus 34:29

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.
~Matthew 17:5


We know, that, when he shall appear, we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is.
~1John 3:2

Master, it is good that we are here.

~Luke 9:33

A Transfiguration Prayer

Heavenly Father,

You spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai and to the Apostles on Mount Tabor where You revealed the splendor of Your glory in Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Moses came down from Sinai with his face aglow from being in Your Presence, the Apostles saw Jesus radiant and never wanted to leave Tabor.

As we come before the Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist may we be transformed; may we not leave Your Presence the same way we entered, but aglow with Your grace. May we become luminaries of Your splendor and glory in this world, for in Your light we see light.

May we become what we behold and what we receive.
All of this we pray in Jesus' name.
Amen.
