Quick Question
Posted by Matt Talamini at 12:33 PM
Does anybody know what the phrase "World without end" means? Why does it come at the end of prayers sometimes? What's the verb?

Check out the greek, (without accents, I couldn't figure them out, save for the ones I didn't need :P)

It could also be translated: "Unto ages of ages"

"From eternity to eternity"

something like that...
