CATECHETICAL COLUMN
KNOW YOUR FAITH
THEME: “I BELIEVE IN LIFE EVERLASTING”
- What is the meaning of the “Amen” with which we conclude our Profession of Faith?
The Hebrew word “Amen”, which also concludes the last book of Sacred Scripture, some of the prayers of the New Testament, and the liturgical prayers of the Church, express our confident and total “yes” to what we professed in the Creed, entrusting ourselves completely to him who is the definitive “Amen”, Christ the Lord. Rev 22:21; Is 65:16; Mt 6:2; 5, 16; Jn. 5:19; Rev 3:14; 2 Cor. 1:20.
