About the Gloria
The Gloria, also known as "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" (Glory to God in the Highest), is an ancient hymn of praise that has been part of Christian worship since the early centuries of the Church. Its opening line echoes the angels' announcement to the shepherds at the birth of Jesus in Luke 2:14.
This beautiful prayer is used in the Roman Catholic Mass, Anglican Communion services, Lutheran liturgies, and many other Christian worship traditions. It is typically sung or recited on Sundays and feast days, though it is omitted during the penitential seasons of Advent and Lent.
The Gloria follows a threefold structure, offering praise to God the Father, to Jesus Christ the Lamb of God, and concluding with a trinitarian acclamation that includes the Holy Spirit. Learning this prayer helps believers participate more fully in the liturgy and enter into the Church's timeless tradition of praise.
