Amen.
for educational purposes, the above prayer, called “ the Gloria “ is presented for all non Catholics of goodwill and who actually are concerned with truth, in which the Church prays as one at all Masses, to prove:
1. the Church teaches there is only One true God, Father, Son and Holy Sprit.
2. God ALONE is to be worshipped.
3. God can and should be prayed to without any mention of Mary.
Not according to Leo.....
"No one ever finds Christ but with and through Mary. Whoever seeks Christ apart from Mary seeks Him in vain." St. Bonaventure
"Holy Scripture was written to Mary, about Mary, and on account of Mary." St. Bernard
"What will it cost you, oh Mary, to hear our prayer? What will it cost you to save us? Has not Jesus placed in your hands all the treasures of His grace and mercy? You sit crowned Queen at the right hand of your son: your dominion reaches as far as the heavens and to you are subject the earth and all creatures dwelling thereon. Your dominion reaches even down into the abyss of hell, and you alone, oh Mary, save us from the hands of Satan." Pope Pius Xl
