Story from monastery heard at the end of Mass (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'end of mass' is the definition.
'amen' can be an answer for 'end' (I have seen 'End of prayer ' mean 'amen' so perhaps 'end' could also mean 'amen'). I'm not sure about the 'of mass' bit.

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amen that I've seen before include "Religiously 11 [THE LASTWORD]" , "Word at the end of a prayer" , "Extremist" , "Prayer ending" , "Put name to end of payer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
