“'Amen' means 'so be it' (CCC 2856) or 'I believe.'”

When we are about to receive the Eucharist (the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Christ), and we say "Amen," we are imitating the Blessed Virgin Mary's Amen ("...be it done to me according to thy word."), when she said yes to receiving Jesus in her womb.

Our priest made an announcement that we're not to use the term "I believe". We can only say "Amen" when receiving the host.

Some guy used to go up there and speak some sentence in another language. The priest stopped him and made him say "Amen".
