O God, Who Before the Passion

O God,
who before the passion of your only-begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain:

Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross,
and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory;

through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God,
for ever and ever.

Amen.
