During the Preface, these words were pronounced in all solemnity: “Lord, for your faithful people life is changed, not ended. When the body of our earthly dwelling lies in death we gain an everlasting dwelling place in heaven” [ Roman Missal, Preface of Christian Death I]. I asked the celebrant the source of these words; and his reply was that he thought it was Pauline – which relates to this topic. He also indicated that I could e mail the liturgical office of the English Bishops where they have someone paid to answer any liturgical questions. I have not gone so far as this because my thought was merely ‘what do the words “changed, not ended” say to me’. The only reference I could find regarding the Roman Missal was in Quo Primum. PJD
