1061 The Creed, like the last book of the Bible, ends with the Hebrew word amen
This word frequently concludes prayers in the New Testament. The Church likewise ends her prayers with "Amen". 1062 In Hebrew, amen comes from the same root word as the word for "believe" This root expresses solidity, trustworthiness, and faithfulness. And so we can |
1064 Thus the Creed's final " Amen " repeats and confirms its first words :
" I believe. To believe is to say "Amen" to God's words, promises and commandments;to entrust oneself completely to him who is the " Amen " of infinite love and perfect faithfulness. The Christian's everyday life will then be the " Amen " to the "I believe" of our baptismal profession of faith |

and our trust in Him. 1063 In the book of the prophet Isaiah, we find the expression " God of Truth " ( literally " God of the Amen ") that is, the God who is faithful to his promises : He who blesses himself in the land shall bless himself by the God of Truth amen Our Lord often used the word " Amen ", sometimes repeated, to emphasize the trustworthiness of his teaching, his authority founded on God's truth. |
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 honour is yours, almighty Father for ever and ever. AMEN I BELIEVE |
