Why do we end the Our Father with "Amen"?
Christians and Jews alike from ancient times have concluded all their prayers with "Amen", thereby saying, "Yes, so be it!" [2855-2856, 2865]
When a person says "Amen" to his words, "Amen" to his life and his destiny, "Amen" to the joy that awaits him, then heaven and earth come together and we are at the goal: with the love that created us in the beginning. (YOUCAT question 527)
