Transfiguration
Novus OrdoTransfiguration — Aug 6, 2027, Aug 6, 2028
Deus, qui fidei sacramenta in Unigeniti tui gloriosa Transfiguratione patrum testimonio roborasti, et adoptionem filiorum perfectam mirabiliter praesignasti, concede nobis famulis tuis, ut, ipsius dilecti Filii tui vocem audientes, eiusdem coheredes effici mereamur.O God, who in the glorious Transfiguration of your Only-begotten Son strengthened the sacrament of faith by the witness of the fathers (Moses and Elijah), and in a marvelous way foreshadowed the perfect adoption of children, grant to your servants that, hearing the voice of Your beloved Son himself, we may merit to be made the same Son’s coheirs. In the Transfiguration, God reveals more fully the Sonship of Jesus and, thus, reveals in Jesus, our own sonship.
Today is the titular feast of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the Cathedral of Rome. "But Father! But Father", I can hear you objecting. "Don’t you know that that basilica is called ‘St. John‘? How can the Transfiguration of the Lord be the titular feast?"
