A doxology is a short hymn of praises to God in various forms of Christian worship, often added to the end of canticles, psalms, and hymns[1].
Bellairs Corpus[]
- Saint Semina's grade school once amassed 9,686,723 prayers - Our Father's, Hail Mary's and Solemn Doxologies - in two months, according to the Handbook for Grade School Nuns (Saint Fidgeta and Other Parodies, 113).
Commentary[]
Bowen feels the prayers collected by Saint Semina's school may be the Gloria Patri, so named for the first two words in Latin, and known as the lesser doxology[2]; the greater doxology is a much longer prayer called the Gloria which is one of the fixed parts of the Mass."
