medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Also, the Psalm used in this season, Ps. 21:
21:15. I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.
Sicut aqua effusus sum et separata sunt omnia ossa mea factum est cor meum sicut cera liquefacta in medio ventris mei
21:16. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
Aruit velut testa fortitudo mea et lingua mea adhesit palato meo et in pulverem mortis detraxisti me
With its gloss & Nicholas of Lyra's commentary.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
There are probably more obvious or richer things, but for a start you
could try:
Thomas's Catena Aurea on the last part of John, in Latin here
http://www.corpusthomisticum.org/cjo12.html
(and obviously Newman's translation is often in libraries).
Thomas's own commentary on John 18-19, here
http://www.corpusthomisticum.org/cih18.html
(there's a translation by Fabian R. Larcher, apparently, according to
the Thomas Instituut website).
Nicholas Love's Mirror of the Blessed Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ has
a brief commentary on the Seven Last Words. Grotty images of some
copies of this can be seen on EEBO - an author search for Nicholas Love
finds 9 copies, and the clearest seems to be a 1606 print ('Sitio' is
on image 250 for this, which is page 522 of the actual book). But it is
only half a page for 'Sitio'.
But I'm sure someone out there actually knows about Seven Last Words
literature, which I alas do not!
All good wishes for Holy Week,

Quoting Patrick Hayes <[log in to unmask]>:
> Greetings...I have been asked by my parish to put together a
