Prayers of the People, Transfiguration Sunday, Year C

​Holy God,
God of Transfiguration,
Host of Sacred Moments,
bring us with you to the mountaintop
to pray.
Keep us awake
that we might be present
for conversation with you
and with all the law and the prophets
in order to more fully understand
God’s fulfillment of them
in you.
As you reveal yourself to us
in shining moments, open not just our eyes
but also our ears
that we might truly hear you
as you teach us all that the law and the prophets
have to say about your extravagant grace.
Be clear in your direction
for we who are slow to understand,
and help us to grasp the breadth and depth
of the work that awaits us when we return to the valley
that we might daily be fueled
by the vision of holiness
we carry in our hearts.
Give us language to express
the sacred in the mundane
that we might share our experience of you
with all who are thirsting for a holy encounter
of their own.
