The Conclusion

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory

forever and ever.*[1] Amen.

What does this mean?

This means that I should be certain that these petitions

are pleasing to our Father in heaven,

and are heard by Him;

for He Himself has commanded us to pray in this way

and has promised to hear us.

Amen, amen, means, "yes, yes, it shall be so."
