- Come, my Light, and illumine my darkness.
- Come, my Life, and revive me from death.
- Come, my Physician, and heal my wounds.
- Come, Flame of divine love, and burn up the thorns of my sins, kindling my heart with the flame of thy love.
- Come, my King, sit upon the throne of my heart and reign there.
- For thou alone art my King and my Lord.
- Amen.
- Reading – [Luke 9:2-12 ESV]
- 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.
- 3 And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.
- 4 And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.
- 5 And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
- 6 And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
- 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,
- 8 by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen.
- 9 Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.
- 10 On their return the apostles told him all that they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida.
- 11 When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and cured those who had need of healing.
- 12 Now the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.”

- 1 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
- 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
- 3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.
- 4 And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
- 5 He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.”
- 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified.
- 7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.”
- 8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
- 9 And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”
- 10 And the disciples asked him, “Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?”
- 11 He answered, “Elijah does come, and he will restore all things.
- 12 But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands.”
- 13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
