What do we mean when we say, "Glory be to God"?

from Novena Preaching @ Novena Church · host Novena Church

Today’s theme is ‘To God be the glory’. Ultimately the goal of Christian life is to glorify God eternally. How do we give glory to God? How do we glorify God when everything belongs to God. We can taste and experience God’s glory and take part in giving glory to God. We look to our blessed mother and St Irenaeus of Lyon who said, ‘The glory of God is when humanity is full alive.’We are not fully alive as sin is within us. What does being fully alive mean?In the Magnificat- ‘my soul glorifies the Lord’- Mary did that by living a God-centred life, in God’s grace, allowing the attributes of God in her person.What do we mean when we say, ‘Glory be to God’?It means that we radiate attributes of God and are loving to people such that others are able to experience the lovingness of God- that’s how we glorify God. Let us be vessels, instruments to radiate the love of God.- Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr. Peter Wee, C.Ss.R. (14 February 2026)
