The Glory Be Prayer
The Glory Be prayer is a manifestation of glory of the Blessed Trinity, not adding to His glory, but an extension, a manifestation of His goodness and power for which the world was created. We add this prayer of glory to the rosary at the end of each decade.
It is a prayer to give honor to the Blessed Trinity and is an act of faith in the mystery of the Trinity and that God's glory will last forever, unchanged. The Minor Gloria(doxologia minor), also referred to as the Doxology, (a short verse praising God) is found several times in the Mass, the Divine office and is used in other extra-liturgical services and prayers such as the rosary and is differentiated from the Major Gloria(doxologia maior)which is also part of the Mass. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
