Correct use of Gloria

There are some faithful who make a huge mistake when praying, it is certainly an innocent mistake but it does not stop damaging the meaning of the prayer, the prayer says “Glory to the father, son and holy spirit”, in this way it is sees that a single “Glory” encompasses all three, while these faithful say “Glory to the father, Glory to the son, Glory to the Holy Spirit”, in this way, a glory for each entity makes it look like they are different entities.

Returning to the same order of ideas, God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit are the same entity and together they make up the Holy Trinity, the glory serves to exalt it, by saying glory for each of them it leaves aside the existence of the Holy Trinity , in a few words, doing it this way would make it look like you are praying to different deities from one another, the Glory be to the Holy Trinity.

Another example in which you can see how they are treated as the same entity is when people cross themselves, the procedure is «In the name of the father, son and Holy Spirit», that is, a single entity (The Holy Trinity), the people do not cross themselves saying “In the name of the father, the name of the son, the name of the holy spirit”, this is because everyone, even if they do not know it, understands that it is the most holy trinity.

In interpersonal relationships it is quite normal to name all the people separately, this is because human beings are different from each other, in religious matters this could generate a lot of confusion, as in fact there is on the part of some faithful For this reason, it is important to know and pray the glory correctly so that these accidents do not occur in a large number of the population.
