O Radiant Face of Jesus
Hymn for the Feast of the Transfiguration

O Face Benign of Jesus,
The thief with sorrowing eyes
Gazed upon Thee, and repentant went
With Christ to Paradise.
Most Holy Face, I cry to Thee,
In loving kindness look on me.

O Dying Face of Jesus,
On the accursèd tree,
Crying aloud: “Ah! why, my God,
Hast Thou abandoned me?”
Most Holy Face, I cry to Thee,
Plead by Thine Agony for me.

Of Thy Apostles on the Mount,
Shining with Heav’n’s own light.

Thus to reveal Thyself to me!

Thine eyes on Peter rest,
And bitter tears the Apostle sheds,

147. Ambition is a vice which makes us seek our own honour with inordinate avidity. [St. Thomas, 2a 2æ, qu. cxxxi, art. 2] Now, as this honour is a mark of respect and esteem, given to meritorious virtue, and to him who is of superior degree, and as it is certain that we have no merit of ourselves, because everything we receive comes from God, it is not to ou…
