Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Do you remember, children, with the addition of what words the angelic song is always read and sung in church? When you are in church, notice that after they repeat the angelic song three times, they will immediately add the following prayer to it: Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen. What do we express to God in this prayer? Are we asking God for anything? “We don’t ask for anything, we only glorify Him, we say that the Triune God belongs to people eternal glory on earth.” Remember the prayer we called a short doxology? In it, did we ask God for something, or not? They also did not ask for anything, but only glorified God, which is why they called it doxology; and this prayer is also called: doxology, only, unlike the first, full doxology, since here we call the Triune God by name, and we also add to it the words: now and ever... Amen; whereas in a short doxology we only say: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
So, remember, children, that we have two prayers called doxology; only one is called a short, short doxology, and the other is a full doxology.
In this prayer, some words are unclear, so you need to find out their meaning - now means now; constantly means always, incessantly; forever and ever means forever. Amen, remember what that means? In simple colloquial speech, the full doxology can be conveyed as follows: Glory belongs to God the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now, always and forever. Truly so!
After the angel's song, what prayer is read? What is it called? Are we asking God for anything in it? Is there another prayer like this? What are the strange words in it? What do they mean? How can I say the full doxology more clearly? Why should we glorify God? Review what you remember about the short doxology.
