  • Gloria Patri 2015 Summer Sermons #3
    Trinity 3 Gloria Patri 2015 Summer Sermons #3 Introduction: Today we consider the ubiquitous Gloria Patri. This ancient hymn of praise is one of the first things we memorize in liturgy: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. It is said at the end of every reading of the Psalms, and at the end of any canticle which does not contain in itself a reference to the Trinity. And so, it is said at every public liturgy of the church: Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer and Holy Communion. It is truly ubiquitous in Christian worship and has been since the 4th century, in both East and West. And why? This little doxology, this little song of praise exists to accomplish two things. First, the Gloria Patri exists and is so pervasive to ensure that we never forget the challenge of knowing God who is one and yet three. There is no more difficult doctrine to grasp than the Doctrine of the Trinity. The tendency of almost all heretics throughout history has been to demote the persons of God to lesser status: i.e. the Son becomes merely a man, and the Spirit becomes an impersonal force or power immigrating from God. Within the Church, we have often dealt with our intellectual challenge of the Trinity by simply forgetting about the Holy Spirit – out of sight out of mind. The Gloria Patri exists to constantly confront us with the central truth that God is Trinity.

"Gloria in excelsis Deo"(Latin for “Glory to God in the It is an example of the psalmi idiotici (“private psalms”, i.e. compositions by individuals in imitation of the bib- lical Psalter) that were popular in the 2nd and 3rd cen- turies. Other surviving examples of this lyric poetry are the Te Deum and the Phos Hilaron.[3] In the 4th century it became part of morning prayers, and is still recited in the Byzantine Rite Orthros service.[1] The Latin translation is traditionally attributed to Saint Hilary of Poitiers (c. 300–368), who may have learned it while in the East (359–360); as such, it is part of a loose tradition of early Latin translations of the scripture known as the Vetus Latina.[3] The Vulgate Latin transla- tion of the Bible was commissioned only in 382.[4] The Latin hymn thus uses the word excelsis to translate the Greek word ὑψίστοις (the highest) in Luke 2:14, not the word altissimis, which Saint Jerome preferred for his translation. However, this word is used near the end: tu solus Altissimus, Jesu Christe (you alone the Most High, Jesus Christ). 2 Present-day Greek text 3 Present-day Latin text Glória in excélsis Deo et in terra pax homínibus bonæ voluntátis.

    File Name: "3-Step Plan Article #9 Conduct of the Service by ACP" (45 pages) THE CONDUCT OF THE SERVICE According to the Rubrics of The Lutheran Hymnal, The Lutheran Liturgy, The Lutheran Lectionary, and The Music for the Liturgy1 By Arthur Carl Piepkorn (1907-1973☩) Concordia Seminary Print Shop, 1965. 44 pages. Edited by Philip James Secker. Revised 3/17/19. 40 pages. Editor's Note: Arthur Carl Piepkorn's classic monograph The Conduct of the Service is primarily about the rubrics of the Service, but contains a great deal of information about what is in Piepkorn's 1962 classic monograph The Architectural Requirements of the Lutheran Cultus (which is in 3-Step Plan Article #7 The Full 3-step Plan). "Cultus" is a Latin loan word that refers to adiaphora, that is, things that are neither commanded nor forbidden by God such as architecture, altars, banners, baptismal fonts, candles, holy communion vessels and rails, hymnals, musical instruments, offering plates, pews, unleavened holy communion wafers, vestments, etc. So both monographs should be used together. The following book is now available as a computer searchable CD that can be searched for additional information on what is in those two monographs: The Sacred Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions, edited and introduced by Philip J.
