For the Gift of Sympathy
BLESSED be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, Who comforteth us in all our tribulation. Grant that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
