I sometimes worry about forgetting to say "Amen" when I receive at the Novus Ordo...at the Latin Mass we don't respond at all.

Frankly, I didn't know there were other answers floating around out there.

I would think a silent "Amen" would be appropriate then, don't you?

Ditto in the Maronite Rite. Probably because in both rites, we only receive on the tongue.

It is because the priest does not just say, "the Body of Christ", he prays:

"The Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ preserve thy soul unto life everlasting. Amen."

"Corpus Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat animam tuam in vitam aeternam. Amen."

including the Amen.

Instead of saying "Amen" kids today say "whatever"
