A liturgical formula of praise to God.

Only "through Christ, with Him and in Him" can we arrive to the Father. The word “doxology” comes from the Greek “doxa” which means “glory”. Doxology, therefore, means glorification. Each celebration of the Mass has this function of praise, of blessing, and of glorification.

The words of the Doxology were first penned in 1674 by Thomas Ken. This makes the song nearly 350 years old, and yet its roots go much deeper still.
