The Gloria is a hymn of praise and adoration that we sing to he the Blessed Trinity. Represented by violet vestments, Advent and Lent are seasons of penitence. The church omits the Gloria (and also the Alleluia during Lent) so that we may spend more time in contemplation and prayer, doing reparation for our sins.

∙ 12y agoThe Gloria is said during the Easter season. It is not said during Lent and Advent because those are both times for penance and anticipation of the holy day to come. In Advent it represents the 4000 years the Jewish people waited for the arrival of the Messiah. In Lent we commemorate the 40 days Our Lord spent fasting in the desert before he began his public ministry. Neither time period is meant to be a joyous occasion, thus, no Gloria.
