5th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Giving Glory to God. Mt. 5:16

Giving glory means to give credit and praise where credit and praise is due. 

When the player makes the winning touchdown or shot;

The player gets all the glory;

When the General defeats the enemy,

The General gets the glory;

When a fireman saves a child from a burning building, 

That fireman gets the glory. 

We give glory to people;

And so should we not give glory to God. 

After all God made the stars and the planets;

God made the mountains and the oceans;

God created us in our mother’s womb and will raise us up to Eternal Life on the Last Day;

Shouldn’t God get some glory too,

For all that God has done?

But how does one give glory to God?
