The Transfiguration of Our Lord

The Collect for today, the Holy Day of the Transfiguration of Our Lord, from The Book of Common Prayer [1] (Canadian, 1962):

O GOD, who on the holy mount didst reveal to chosen witnesses thy well-beloved Son wonderfully transfigured: Mercifully grant unto us such a vision of his divine majesty, that we, being purified and strengthened by thy grace, may be transformed into his likeness from glory to glory; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Epistle: 2 St. Peter 1:16-21 [2]
The Gospel: St. Matthew 17:1-9 [3]
