The Glory Be

Gloria Patri

The short doxology that praises the Holy Trinity. Prayed at the end of each decade of the Rosary and each psalm of the Liturgy of the Hours.

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.
In Latin

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
