☆ Gospel:Matthew 17:9a, 10-13
9a
And when they were coming down from the mountain,
10
And his disciples, questioning him, said, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?
11
And in answer he said, Elijah truly has to come and put all things right:
12
But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.
13
Then the disciples saw that he was talking to them of John the Baptist.

☆ Sirach 48:1-4, 9-11 **
1
Until like fire a prophet appeared,
his words a flaming furnace.
2
The staff of life, their bread, he shattered,
and in his zeal he made them few in number.
3
By God's word he shut up the heavens
and three times brought down fire.
4
How awesome are you, ELIJAH!
Whose glory is equal to yours?
9
You were taken aloft in a whirlwind,
in a chariot with fiery horses.
10
You are destined, it is written, in time to come
to put an end to wrath before the day of the LORD,
To turn back the hearts of parents toward their children,
and to re-establish the tribes of Israel.
11
Blessed is the one who shall have seen you before he dies!
** Sirach 48:1-
