At the end of each prayer, we say Amen, but what does this word amen mean? • Amen means so be it or it is so, from the original Hebrew word meaning truth or certainty. • Jesus Christ also uses the term to begin a statement of religious teaching as in Amen, Amen, I say to you . . . • When we say amen at the end of a prayer it is an affirmation of I believe. By saying I believe at the end of the prayer, we mean two things: • 1) I believe what I said was true. • 2) I believe in God, who hears our prayers. • Amen expresses our faithfulness in God through prayer and his promises. • Catholics may read more about the meaning of Amen in the Catechism of the Catholic Church 1061-1065. • Jesus Christ himself is the 'Amen.' He is the definitive 'Amen' of the Father's love for us. He takes up and completes our 'Amen' to the Father: 'For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why we utter the Amen through him, to the glory of God': • Through him, with him, in him, • in the unity of the Holy Spirit, • all glory and honor is yours, • almighty Father, • God, for ever and ever. • AMEN. • (CCC, 1065) • • SUBSCRIBE for more Catholic videos: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • CONNECT WITH THE RELIGION TEACHER: • -- Facebook: / thereligionteacher • -- Pinterest: / religionteacher • CONNECT WITH JARED: • -- Instagram: / jareddees • -- Twitter: / jareddees • -- LinkedIn: / jareddees • ARE YOU A RELIGIOUS EDUCATOR?
