In the English version of the Bible the word Glory, one of the commonest in the Scripture, is used to translate several Hebrew terms in the Old Testament, and the Greek doxa in the New Testament.Sometimes the Catholic versions employ brightness, where others use glory.This meaning is found for instance in Ex."And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai"; in Luke, ii, 9, and in the account of the Transfiguration on Mount Thabor.Frequently in the New Testament it signifies a manifestation of the Divine Majesty, truth, goodness or some other attribute through His incarnate Son, as, for instance, in John, I, 14: "(and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth"; Luke, ii, 32, "A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel"; and throughout the prayer of Christ for his disciples, John 17.In other passages glory is equivalent to praise rendered to God in acknowledgment of His majesty and perfections manifested objectively in the world, or through supernatural revelation: "Thou art worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory, and honour, and power: because thou hast created all things", Apoc."Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name", Ps.The term is used also to mean judgment on personal worth, in which sense the Greek doxa reflects the signification of the cognate verb dokeo: "How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek?""For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God".Lastly, glory is the name given to the blessedness of the future life in which the soul is united to God: "For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come", Rom."Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God", ib.Augustine as clara notitia cum laude, "brilliant celebrity with praise".The philosopher and theologian have accepted this definition as the centre around which they correlate their doctrine regarding glory, divine and human.Divine Glory
The Eternal God has by an act of His will created, that is, has brought into being from nothingness, all things that are.Infinite Intelligence, He could not act aimlessly; He had an objective for His action: He created with a purpose; He destined His creatures to some end.Him might aid Him in the elimination of evil which He by Himself is unable to cast out?All things are, only because they have received of Him; and the measure of His giving constitutes the limitations of their being.Each reflects in fixed limitation something of His nature and attributes.The summer flower, though only to itself it live and die, is a silent witness before Him of His power, goodness, truth, and unity; and the harmonious order which binds all the innumerable parts of creation into one cosmic whole is another reflection of His oneness and His wisdom.Yet, as each part of creation is finite, so too is the totality; and therefore its capacity to reflect the Divine Prototype must result in an infinitely inadequate representation of the Great Exemplar.Now this objective revelation of the Creator in terms of the existences of things is the glory of God.This doctrine is authoritatively formulated by the Council of the Vatican: "If any one shall say that the world was not created for the glory of God, let him be anathema" (Sess.The unconscious testimony of the universe to its Creator is rather potential than actual glory.Hence, this glory which it renders to Him is called in theological phrase gloria materialis, to distinguish it from the formal glory rendered to God by His intelligent creatures.This praise involves not merely intellectual perception, but also the practical acknowledgment by heart and will which issues in obedience and loving service.The gift of intellect also imposes on man the duty of returning to God that formal glory of which we have just spoken.The natural revelation which God has vouchsafed of Himself through the world interpreted by reason has been supplemented by a higher supernatural manifestation which has culminated in the Incarnation of the Godhead in Jesus Christ: "and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the Father, full of grace and truth".Similarly the natural resemblance to God and the relation of our being to His, as established by creation, are supplemented and carried into a higher order by His communication of sanctifying grace.To know God through the medium of this supernaturally revealed truth, to serve Him in love springing from this grace is to be "Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God" (Phil.In manifesting the glory of God by the development of their proper powers and capacities, inanimate creatures reach that perfection or fulness of existence which God has prescribed for them.Likewise man achieves his perfection or subjective end by giving glory to God in the comprehensive sense above indicated.That perfection shall consist in a direct, immediate, intuitive perception of God; "We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face.Now I know in part; but then I shall know even as I am known" (1 Corinthians 13:12).In this transcendent knowledge the soul shall become, in a higher measure than that which obtains by virtue of creation alone, a participant and therefore an image of the Divine nature; so "we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2).So that objectively and actively the life in heaven shall be an unending ineffable manifestation and acknowledgment of the Divine majesty and perfections.Thus we understand the Scriptural language in which the future life of the blessed is described as a state in which "we all beholding the glory of the Lord with open face, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Corinthians 3:18).The Catholic doctrine on this subject is defined by the Council of Florence (see Denzinger, 588).Human Glory
To enjoy glory before men is to be known and honoured on account of one's character, qualities, possessions, position, or achievements, real or imaginary.The moral question arises, is the desire and pursuit of this glory lawful?The doctrine on the subject is succinctly stated by St.Posing the question whether the desire of glory is sinful, he proceeds to answer it in the following sense: Glory imports the manifestation of something which is estimated honourable, whether it be a spiritual or a corporal good.Glory does not necessarily require that a large number of persons shall acknowledge the excellence; the esteem of a few, or even of oneself, may suffice, as, for example, when one judges some good of his own to be worthy of praise.That any person esteem his own good or excellence to be worthy of praise is not in itself sinful; nor, in like manner, is it sinful that we should desire to see our good works approved of men."Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works" (Matthew 5:16).Hence the desire of glory is not essentially vicious.Vainglory may become a deadly sin, if one seek the esteem of men for something that is incompatible with the reverence due to God; or when the thing for which one desires to be esteemed is preferred in one's affections before God; or again, when the judgment of men is sought in preference to the judgment of God, as was the case with the Pharisees, who "loved the glory of men more than the glory of God" (John 12:43).The term "vainglory" denotes not alone the sinful act, but also the vicious habit or tendency engendered by a repetition of such acts.Transcribed by Sierra Fisher.Nihil Obstat, September 1, 1909.II, QQ, ciii, cxxxii, IDEM, Cont.GRAY AND MASSIE in HAST.HASTINGS, A Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels (New York, 1906), x.Thomas in The Catholic University Bulletin, vol.Dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.Glory Be to the Father, also known as Gloria Patri, is a doxology, a short hymn of praise to God in various Christian liturgies.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.This is the form used in the early Church, both East and West, and which continues to be used by the Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Oriental Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, and the Eastern Catholic Churches.The later Latin version
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto,
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum.Glory 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.In 529 the Second Synod of Vasio (Vaison in the province of Avignon) said that the additional words Sicut erat in principio are used in Rome, the East, and Africa as a protest against Arianism, and orders them to be said likewise in Gaul (can.As far as the East was concerned, the synod was mistaken.Walafrid Strabo (9th century), De rebus eccl.Usage
In the Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Oriental Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East and the Eastern Catholic Churches, it is frequently used at diverse points in services and private prayers.In Catholicism, it is frequently chanted or recited in the Liturgy of Hours, or Divine Office, used by the clergy, principally at the end of psalms and canticles and in the responsories.The Glory Be prayer is prayed during the Rosary on the large beads which separate the five sets of ten smaller beads, called decades, upon each of which a Hail Mary is prayed.Similar wording is found in many other Protestant Hymnals.Catholics:
