Latin expressions explained (14): Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.

Christian formula known as a doxology, which consists of praises addressed to God at the end of a prayer, a hymn or a sermon. This expression belongs to the rite, ceremonies and Catholic liturgy, and exalts the Holy Trinity (God the Father, the Son, that is Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, often represented by a dove).

Therefore, the translation would be: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Along with the formula, Catholics usually make the sign of the cross.
