As we end the Gloria, we stretch our minds and hearts up to God, Trinity in unity, unity in Trinity, worshiping Him, one God in three Persons.
For You alone are the Holy One, You alone are the Lord, You alone are the Most High,
With these words, we proclaim the one God we worship. We focus on His transcendence. Our minds cannot grasp the immensity of God. Yet we can try, and we do, adoring Him in His holiness and in His authority, declaring in these few words His omnipotence and omniscience.
Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father.
Now we proclaim the mystery of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We marvel at this mystery, embracing with wonder and awe what we do not understand. We have been carried to the pinnacle of our faith as we reflect on and declare Who God is.
Amen.
We end the Gloria with a firm Amen, giving our assent to everything we have just recited or sung. We believe, and we rejoice.
