Perfect for Lent: as an act of devotion or simply a magnificent piece of classical music, here's the 'second word' ("This day you shall be with me in Paradise") from Theodore Dubois' Les Sept Parole du Christe ("The Seven Last Words").
Dubois is chiefly remembered for this work as well as the controversy when he refused to award the Prix de Rome to Maurice Ravel at the Paris Conservatoire, resulting in his resignation.
