 the prophet  Isaias  heard  them  singing,  prostrate  in profound  adoration,  before  the  throne  of  God,  and  which  St. John  the  evangelist  heard  repeated  in  the  highest  heavens, day and  night,  without  any  intermission.

The Doxology  is  often  repeated  by  the  Church,  in  her divine office,  in  honor  of  the  most  Holy  Trinity.

All who  have  a  lively  faith  in  the  ineffable  mystery  of three  persons  in  one  God,  should,  after  the  example  of  the celestial choirs,  adore,  bless,  and  praise  the  most  Holy Trinity, as  often  as  possible,  and  with  all  the  fervor  of which  they  are  capable.

Should one  of  the  three,  thus  united,  die,  of  from  any cause abandon  this  devotion,  another  must  be  chosen,  that the union  of  three  persons  may  always  be  preserved.

They who  recite  devoutly,  morning,  noon,  and  evening, the Glory  be  to  the  Father,  &c.,  three  times,  in  thanksgiving to  the  most  Holy  Trinity,  for  the  graces  and  privileges conferred  on  the  Blessed  Virgin  Mary,  especially! on the day  of  her  glorious  Assumption,  may,  every  day, gain
