First Reading

Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14

9I beheld till thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days sat: his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool: his throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire. 10A swift stream of fire issued forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times a hundred thousand stood before him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened.

13I beheld therefore in the vision of the night, and lo, one like the son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and he came even to the Ancient of days: and they presented him before him. 14And he gave him power, and glory, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes and tongues shall serve him: his power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and his kingdom that shall not be destroyed.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 97:1-2, 5-6, 9

1For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.

2Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

5The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

6The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.

9For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

Second Reading

2 Peter 1:16-19

16For we have not by following artificial fables, made known to you the power, and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness. 17For he received from God the Father, honour and glory: this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 18And this voice we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19And 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:

Gospel

Mark 9:2-10

2And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white. 3And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. 4And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear. 6And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved son; hear ye him. 7And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them. 8And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead. 9And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead. 10And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?
