Glory to God!<\/strong><\/p>\n

May 11, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every human soul shall thank the Almighty God for we are created in His Glory for His Gratitude. The entire services of worship in Holy Orthodox Church, begin with either the terms\u00a0\u2018Bless\u2019\u00a0or\u00a0\u2018Glory.\u2019\u00a0In accordance, we shall praise Him daily for the blessings of grace showered upon us; our rejoin for His blessings as humble servant is our love. We convey our gratitude with songs of glory to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

Glorifying our Lord is the reminder of our Love towards Him for He was sacrificed for our salvation; we shall praise Him through our prayers. \u201cGlory is a term we use throughout our prayers. Glory describes and defines us. We are the glory people\u00a0par excellence. We know why we give glory, and to Whom we give glory. He is the One who has enlightened us. He it is who opens our spiritual eyes, and He it is Whom we see with the eyes of our souls. We perceive Him to be God, and we discern that He is not just One, but Three Persons in One Essence,\u201d said Father Vladimir Berzonsky of Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America.<\/p>\n

He also stated about our payers in Glorifying Him; We thank God grateful for His safeguard as \u201cWe are in God\u2019s eyes made from dust to rise in glory and live with God forevermore, long past the time when time and the universe will end. In that sense, all our prayers are meditations about this profound mystery of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

We shall praise Him as Prophet David:-<\/p>\n

\u201cO\u00a0Lord, our Lord,
\nHow\u00a0excellent\u00a0is\u00a0Your name in all the earth,
\nWho have\u00a0set Your glory above the heavens!<\/p>\n

Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
\nYou have\u00a0ordained strength,
\nBecause of Your enemies,
\nThat You may silence\u00a0the enemy and the avenger.<\/p>\n

When I\u00a0consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
\nThe moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
\nWhat is man that You are mindful of him,
\nAnd the son of man that You\u00a0visit\u00a0him?
\nFor You have made him a little lower than\u00a0the angels,
\nAnd You have crowned him with glory and honor.<\/p>\n

O\u00a0Lord, our Lord,<\/p>\n

How excellent\u00a0is\u00a0Your name in all the earth!\u201d (Psalm 8:1-9)<\/p>\n

\u00a0Gratitude to You Our Lord for the Love You have shown and the life You have given us; we praise you every day!!!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
