Catechism of the Catholic Church
293 Scripture and Tradition never cease to teach and celebrate this fundamental truth: "The world was made for the glory of God." St. Bonaventure explains that God created all things "not to increase his glory, but to show it forth and to communicate it", for God has no other reason for creating than his love and goodness.
294 The glory of God consists in the realization of this manifestation and communication of his goodness, for which the world was created. God made us "to be his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace", (Eph 1:5-6) for "the glory of God is man fully alive; moreover man's life is the vision of God: if God's revelation through creation has already obtained life for all the beings that dwell on earth, how much more will the Word's manifestation of the Father obtain life for those who see God." ( St. Irenaeus) The ultimate purpose of creation is that God "who is the creator of all things may at last become "all in all", thus simultaneously assuring his own glory and our beatitude."
According to the CCC, God created us to know, to see, and to experience His glory–– majesty, power, dominion, illumination, holiness, and for us to communicate His glory as we become the “vision of God” through our union with Jesus Christ. This is TRANSFORMATION. We share in the glory of God by doing His will and by growing in virtue.

We Are Made for the Glory of God by Fr Maurice Emelu
God’s Glory revealed in the New testament
The key insights to understand what the glory of God means are the words of the Savior in John 17 — His prayer to the Father:
I glorified thee on earth, having accomplished the work which thou gavest me to do; and now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee before the world was made. I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world; thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word. (John 17:4–6)
Jesus brought God glory by finishing the work the Father gave him to do — the work of salvation, which is embodied by belief in the fullness of divine revelation. The glory of God is the very identity of God, and Jesus in the fullness of revelation because He has revealed to humanity the character and identity of God. The Lord Jesus Christ is God’s glory revealed. The disciples came to know in time that Jesus was the embodiment and revelation of God. “He who has seen me,” the Lord told Philip, “has seen the Father” (John 14:9).

How can we glorify God?
In the New Testament, the Apostles used the word “glory” to mean “to value highly,” “to exalt,” and “to magnify.” We can glorify God by exalting Him, magnifying Him, and valuing Him as our supreme treasure.
Exalting God
We exalt God with praise, with acknowledgment of His supreme majesty, with acts of gratitude, and with prayer. The best way to praise God is to offer Him the Son’s sacrifice of praise, which He offered to the Father for us all on the Cross of Calvary. Thus, the Eucharist is the apex of divine praise on earth.
Suffer all with Me, no longer two but one in My sacrifice of love.”
Message of 10/16/19
Allow Me to crucify you for the glory of God and the salvation of the world.
Message of 9/13/20
Your heart belongs totally to Me, for Me to cherish and mold into My pure sacrifice of love to our Father so that He will be glorified through you in Me.
Exalting God also entails talking about God — His words, His actions, and His beauty — as readily as possible. God should be frequently on our lips — more often than any other person in our lives. More often than not there is a correlation between the people you exalt and the people you talk about. This brings up the uncomfortable question: Do you think and talk more about God or yourself? What does this say about whom you exalt above all others?
Magnifying God
We glorify God by magnifying Him — that is, by making Him more visible to others. In simple terms, to glorify God is to reveal Him to those we encounter and throughout our society. Whatever we do that does not reveal — or, worse, obscures — the holiness and goodness of God frustrates our primary goal. We are primarily made for God’s glory, to be His reflection in the world.
Message of 1/10/12
I am forming each of you to radiate the glory of God in the world.
Message of 12/11/22
Every disorder in your humanity is a distortion of God's glory. Therefore, the Spirit comes as fire from My pierced Heart to burn away all falsehood in each soul so that through this living pulsating fire, each soul can be renewed through Me, with Me, and in Me in God's image and likeness, and thus bring glory to God on earth and for all eternity in heaven.
Although the world in all its beauty points to its Creator and thereby magnifies Him, and although the very existence of living plants and animals are a testimony of the eternal wisdom of the Creator, these created things do so without will or choice. Humans and humans alone, in the temporal order, are called to magnify the Lord with their will and choices. This happens, it turns out, in the very being of humanity — when the person is fully alive in love and faith and hope. As St. Irenaeus puts it, “The glory of God is man fully alive.”

Please tell God's little mustard seed to persevere in faith, hope, and love during the purification by fire, and God's little mustard seed will experience the glory of God with you.
Valuing God as Our Highest Treasure
We glorify God by worshipping Him as our highest, priceless treasure. We can then acknowledge His lordship (Matt. 6:9–13), submit to His Son (Phil. 2:9–11), participate in His work (Hag. 1:7–8), endure anything and suffer for His sake (1 Pet. 4:12–16), and be ready to offer our lives in martyrdom (John 21:18–19; Ps. 116:15).
Martyrdom (from the same Greek root word for “witnessing”) is the clearest evidence of one who treasures God above all else. If we really take God as our highest treasure, then nothing will ever take His place in our lives. In fact, we will be willing and ready to sacrifice everything, including our lives, for God’s cause.
Message of 12/8/22
Remain in prayer and silence so that your hearts are prepared and the light of God can shine through you to witness God's love and peace.
Message of 12/11/22
My Simple Path brings each soul to encounter their misery so that they can encounter God’s glory. God's glory is who He is–– Love–– perfect, pure Love. As you put on Jesus Christ (Rom.13:14), you take off all falsehood. Thus you become God's witnesses, His saints for these end times. Teach My Simple Path to all peoples, and this act of obedience and love will bring Him great glory. Go in peace, My little one, believing I am one with you.
From the treatise "Against the Heresies" by St Irenaeus
The operation of the redeeming Incarnation
If man, without being puffed up or boastful, has a right belief regarding created things and their divine Creator, who, having given them being, holds them all in his power, and if man perseveres in God’s love, and in obedience and gratitude to him, he will receive greater glory from him. It will be a glory which will grow ever brighter until he takes on the likeness of the one who died for him.
