SAINT

keep up-to-date on current events and be aware of parish life from years gone
by, visit www.SaintPeterInChains.net.
My Daily Prayer Dear
God, as I begin this day, let me turn my thoughts to you |
Sometimes
our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. |
It
is easy to sit up and take notice. |
Happiness is a perfume which you cannot pour on someone without getting some on yourself. |
READINGS
The readings for this weekend's Masses are shown below in English. They are available
in eleven other languages
including French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish by clicking on this
link.
First
Reading
Daniel
7:9-10.13-14
As
I watched: Thrones were set in place and one of great age took his seat. His robe
was white as snow, the hair of his head as pure as wool. His throne was a blaze
of flames, its wheels were a burning fire. A stream of fire poured out, issuing
from his presence. A thousand thousand waited on him, ten thousand times ten thousand
stood before him. A court was held and the books were opened. I gazed into the
visions of the night. And I saw, coming on the clouds of heaven, one like a son
of man. He came to the one of great age and was led into his presence. On him
was conferred sovereignty, glory and kingship, and men of all peoples, nations
and languages became his servants. His sovereignty is an eternal sovereignty which
shall never pass away, nor will his empire ever be destroyed.
Second
Reading
Peter
1:16-19
It was not any cleverly invented myths that we were repeating when
we brought you the knowledge of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ;
we had seen his majesty for ourselves. He was honoured and glorified by God the
Father, when the Sublime Glory itself spoke to him and said, "This is my
Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour." We heard this ourselves, spoken from
heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain. So we have confirmation of
what was said in prophecies; and you will be right to depend on prophecy and take
it as a lamp for lighting a way through the dark until the dawn comes and the
morning star rises in your minds.
Gospel
Mark
9:2-10
Jesus
took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain where they
could be alone by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his
clothes became dazzlingly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them.
Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. Then Peter
spoke to Jesus. "Rabbi", he said "it is wonderful for us to be
here; so let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."
He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering
them in shadow; and there came a voice from the cloud, "This is my Son, the
Beloved. Listen to him." Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw
no one with them any more but only Jesus. As they came down from the mountain
he warned them to tell no one what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had
risen from the dead. They observed the warning faithfully, though among themselves
they discussed what 'rising from the dead' could mean.
