Life Is Changed, Not Taken Away

We should at all times and in all places give thanks to You, holy Lord, Father almighty, eternal God, through Christ our Lord in Whom the hope of a blessed resurrection has beamed upon us so that those who are saddened by the certainty of dying may be consoled by the promise of a future deathless life.

For to Your faithful people, Lord, life is changed, not taken away; and when the home of this earthly sojourn is dissolved, an eternal dwelling is made ready in heaven.
