Vespers, Transfiguration of Our Lord
The Transfiguration is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels, and one of the five major milestones in the Gospel narrative, the others being baptism, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Heaven meets earth, the temporal and eternal bond, human nature is confronted by the fact of God and becomes aware of God's uncreated light.

Psalm 141<br />
O <strong>Lord</strong>, I call to you; come to me quickly; *<br />
hear my voice when I cry to you.<br />
Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense, *<br />
the lifting up <strong>of</strong> my hands as the evening sacrifice.<br />
Set a watch before my mouth, O <strong>Lord</strong>,<br />
and guard the door <strong>of</strong> my lips; *<br />

Let my prayer come before you like incense.<br />
Let me not be occupied in wickedness with evildoers, *<br />
nor eat <strong>of</strong> their choice foods.<br />
Let the righteous smite me in friendly rebuke;<br />
let not the oil <strong>of</strong> the unrighteous anoint my head; *<br />
for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.<br />
Let their rulers be overthrown in stony places, *<br />
that they may know my words are true.<br />
As when a ploughman turns over the earth in furrows, *<br />
let their bones be scattered at the mouth <strong>of</strong> the grave.<br />

Let my prayer come before you like incense.<br />
But my eyes are turned to you, <strong>Lord</strong> God; *<br />
