About This Prayer

The Glory Be to the Father prayer—also known as the Gloria Patri—is a short doxology that praises the eternal majesty of the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Rooted in early Christian liturgical tradition, this prayer affirms the unchanging nature of God across all time. It expresses adoration and is often used to give glory to God after meditative or intercessory prayers, especially within structured devotions like the Rosary or the Liturgy of the Hours.

The Prayer

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.
