Gloria Patri during Passiontide?
« on: March 29, 2023, 12:10:14 PM »
In Passiontide, this prayer is to be omitted during the Mass and other public liturgical devotions, but what about in the Rosary and other private devotions? If it is omitted privately, is there some other Trinitarian prayer used instead? Or is this optional in private devotions and I'm overthinking it? The sources I've been able to find aren't clear about this. Thanks.

The only thing I'm aware of is that we say the Sorrowful Mysteries in Lent.

I've never omitted it during private prayer.  I think that different standards apply for private prayer than rules that govern the public prayer of the Church.

So, for instance, I don't refrain from also saying the Glorious Mysteries during Passiontide as I try to offer the daily 15 decades.

Yes, I think that if people are splitting the Rosary up into 5 decades per day of the week, the typical rotation would be --

Monday: Joyful
Tuesday: Sorrowful
Wednesday:  Glorious
Thursday: Joyful
Friday: Sorrowful
Saturday:  Glorious
Sunday: per the season

So that "extra" on Sunday would be determined by the season, which would be Sorrowful during Passiontide/Lent.

But I've never heard of anyone dropping the  Joyful/Glorious entirely during Passiontide or Lent.

The Gloria Patri is only omitted liturgically. In private prayers, it is still said.

Just like we don't cover all our statues and pictures in our homes on Passion Sunday -- but we do in church. Because it's liturgical. 

There is a big difference between prayers said with the mouth of the Church, and private devotions.

There is SOME overlap, for example: you wouldn't want to sing Easter hymns especially with "Alleluia" during Lent. But other than that, the Church just dictates how we will celebrate Lent, by dictating HER liturgy and changes which are to occur during Lent/Passiontide/the Triduum, etc.
