Rainbow Prayer is a meditation rendering of 39 passages from the book of Psalms, 11 Canticles, 35 passages from Hebrew and Christian scriptures, and the 15 Psalms of Francis of Assisi . Part A, drawn from the Commons of Mary, Apostles, Martyrs, Pastors & Doctors, and Holy Women & Men , has proven especially helpful for those trying to discern whether they are being called to pray the Liturgy of the Hours. Part B ( Midday Work Hours ) is inspired by the psalms and readings of the Midday Hours and reflection on years of working as a student, janitor, launderer, clerk, landscaper, accountant, and parish priest. Part C ( In Health & In Healing ) has roots in a hospital chaplaincy internship, often offering short readings from the Psalter, and watching faithful Methodists, Baptists, Jews and others taking in the sacred word with a reverence that resembles a Catholic receiving holy communion. Part D ( Psalms of Francis of Assisi ) is 15 sets of fragments of psalms and other scripture collected for Franciscan mendicant beggars, a small prayerbook arranged for the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent (and Ordinary Time) and Easter. Stephen Joseph Wolf has prayed the Psalter for over thirty years from several different translations.
