3 Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi,
Pater misericordiarum et Deus totius consolationis,
4 qui consolatur nos in omni tribulatione nostra,
ut possimus et ipsi consolari eos, qui in omni pressura sunt,
per exhortationem, qua exhortamur et ipsi a Deo.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
a gentle Father [the Father of mercies] and the God of all consolation,
who comforts us in all our sorrows,
so that we can offer others, in their sorrows,
the consolation that we have received from God ourselves.
