Collect for Lord's Day, Feb. 15th

God our Father, before the suffering of your only Son Jesus you 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 is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
