I've had a somewhat unusual request from a local deacon. He is participating in an ecumenical gathering with various Protestant pastors in the area to give reflections on the Seven Last Words of Christ. He was assigned: "I assure you: this day you will be with me in paradise."
He has asked me to provide some music related to that theme for his reflection, preferably some chant. I have looked in the Liber and the closest thing I find is the 2nd responsory for Matins on Good Friday "Velum templi". It has the words of the good thief, but not the words of Jesus.
