Holy Gospel, prayer of February 25

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Mark 9,2-10.
At that time, Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and took them on a high mountain, to a secluded place, alone. He transfigured before them
and his clothes became bright, very white: no washerman on earth could make them so white.
And Elijah appeared to them with Moses and they were talking with Jesus.
Taking the floor then, Peter said to Jesus: «Master, it is good for us to be here; we make three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah! ».
He did not know what to say, since they had been taken by fear.
Then a cloud formed which enveloped them in the shadows and a voice came out of the cloud: «This is my beloved Son; Listen to him. "
And immediately looking around, they no longer saw anyone except Jesus alone with them.
As they came down the mountain, he ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen, except after the Son of man had risen from the dead.
And they kept it to themselves, wondering what it meant to rise from the dead.

Saint of today - SS. VERSIGLIA AND CARAVARIO
O Lord, what did you say:

"Nobody has a greater love than someone who gives his life for his friends":

through the intercession of Blessed Martyrs Luigi Versiglia and Callisto Caravario, Salesians,

who heroically faced death to prove their faith

and defend the dignity and virtue of the people entrusted to them,

help us to be more faithful in Christian witness

and more generous in the service of charity.

For Christ our Lord. Amen.

Ejaculatory of the day

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
