Thursday evening

 

Blessed

 be the

 God &

 Father 

 of our

   Lord

  Jesus

 Christ, 

 the Father of all mercies & the God of all consola-

 tons, who consoles is in our afflictions so that

 we may be able to console those who are

 in any way afflicted with the consola- 

 tion with which we ourselves are

 consoled.
