Word of the Day: Amen

Normally used to end a prayer, or to voice agreement with someone elses statement, "Amen" is derived from a Hebrew word meaning "truth" or "so be it" (as in, it is true). Amen was also used by the greeks, and appears throughout the Old and New Testaments. 

In some instances, Amen is used as praise. In other instances, it can be used as a request, as in Let it be so. 

Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
(1 Peter 5:14)
