Also known as Gloria Patri, Doxology
A single sentence of praise to the Trinity, prayed at the end of each decade of the Rosary and between the psalms. The oldest form of Christian prayer still in daily use.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
Glória Patri,
et Fílio,
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper,
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.

This text is in the public domain. About these texts
The gesture and words that open and close nearly every Catholic prayer. Eight words, and the shortest statement of what Christians believe about God.
Not a single prayer but a method: the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be arranged around twenty scenes from the life of Christ. This page gives the order and the mysteries for each day.
GraceBook will connect Catholics with priests, religious, and trained lay mentors. It is still being built — no sessions can be booked, and no mentor is listed yet.
Before it opens, the platform has to work and the arrangements behind it have to be reviewed by the Church. We would rather not name a date we cannot keep.
Confirm your address and we will write the day we open. We may send something occasionally before then — never often, and never to anyone but you.
Never shared with anyone. Every message carries a link to remove your address for good.
We ask for one document: a letter or email from your bishop, religious superior, or parish priest saying they are content for you to serve. Nothing else.
