====H) Concluding Doxology and Great Amen====

* doxology = "words of praise"
<blockquote>Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever.</blockquote>
*the people respond with the "'''Great Amen'''" 
**which may be sung and repeated
*the Great Amen is affirmation by the faithful of the Eucharistic Prayers
**"amen" = "so be it" or "it is so"
*from the [https://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/the-mass/general-instruction-of-the-roman-missal/girm-chapter-2 GIRM Ch 2]:
**" The concluding doxology, by which the glorification of God is expressed and which is affirmed and concluded by the people’s acclamation Amen."
*the “Geat Amen” is the moment of the sacrifice of Christ:
**per Leviticus, the people would present the animal for sacrifice, placing a hand on it to show ownership (of the animal and of their sins) ([https://bible.usccb.org/bible/leviticus/1?4 Lv 1:4])
**in the Mass, this is the moment the priest would splash the blood of the victim onto the altar ([https://bible.usccb.org/bible/leviticus/1?5 Lv 1:5])
