Doxology

[CB_Catholic]

I’m very concerned about this practice. If anybody can basically say mass, what is the point of the priesthood? These laity who lived through Vatican 2 think they can do whatever they want. They can recite the mass, barge into the sacristy like they own the place, and will not be pleasantly surprised when a youthful conservative priest comes to their parish and sets things straight.

What are you talking about? Most of the laity who lived through Vatican II do no such things.

It’s one, but it’s not the only one. The end of the Eucharistic Prayer before the AMEN is a Doxology as is the acclamation at the end of the Lord’s Prayer. All three are short hymns or prayers of praise.

The Gloria is also a doxology.

 

[Elizium23]

The Gloria is also a doxology.

The Gloria Patri is known as the “Lesser Doxology” and the Gloria in Excelsis Deo is known as the “Great Doxology”:

The Per Ipsum can be specifically called the Eucharistic Doxology.

There are plenty of examples of doxologies. This type of hymn derives from Jewish practice.

 

[ProVobis]

I was referring to this Doxology:
Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever.

I once attended a parish where it became very common for everyone to recite along. (It seems easy and very catchy. Maybe they did it to impress the priest?) However, once informed of this, the bishop put an immediate stop to it.
