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.
