Explanation

The gloriapatri or Gloria Patri is a Christian prayer in honor of the Holy Trinity, which the Church usually sings after each Psalm, at the end of the mysteries of the rosary, or after other prayers (parenostre, avemaria). It is a doxology (formula with which God is glorified, usually at the end of another text), and is known as the minor doxology to distinguish it from the major doxology, Gloria in excelsis Deo.
