Stand for the Gloria

Question:

There’s confusion in some parishes. Do we sit or stand during the Gloria?

Answer:

According to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (#43), the faithful are to stand from the entrance hymn until the end of the opening prayer. Since the Gloria comes between those two things, the faithful should be standing during the Gloria.

We’re a nonprofit —no ads, just truth. Will you help us stay that way?
