Dawn & Dusk Rainbow Prayer - 9781937081744

Dawn & Dusk Rainbow Prayer is a meditation rendering for the full year: Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Ordinary Time: 147 of the 150 Psalms, 39 Canticles, many Sayings of Jesus, 111 Scripture Readings on the Christian Life, and 127 traditional songs from the public domain, arranged for dawn & dusk (morning & evening) in a two-week cycle. Almost all of the Psalms and Canticles and Readings are placed on the same day of the week as in the four-week traditional cycle of the Liturgy of the Hours, weeks 1 and 3 in the first week, and weeks 2 and 4 in the second week. (Warning: If you have a very strong preference for the traditional masculine imagery for God, you will not like this meditation rendering.) Designed by a former parish priest who has prayed the Psalter for over thirty years with especially LGBTQ+Catholics in mind, these choices were made in this meditation rendering: 1. For the name YHVH, or Yahweh, the Hebrew word Adonai (ahduh-nigh') meaning My Lord, is used. In several places the words El or Elyon or Elohim are retrieved, as is Sabaoth instead of Mighty or Hosts. 2. Following the Christian understanding of one God in the three persons of the Trinity, masculine pronouns for God are avoided. 3. In an admittedly imperfect effort to pray the gospel as well as the psalms, the word enemy is most often rendered as enmity and foes as adversity. 4. Where people are referred to as evil, the emphasis is shifted to those who do the bad, or ways that are bad. 5. Since race is a human construct, and we are all members of the one human race, words such as tribe and family are used. Most of the Antiphons are Sayings of Jesus drawn from Sunday Gospel readings: In the Sunday Lectionary, the Old Testament readings have connections with the Gospel reading, and the Responsorial Psalm is a response to the Old Testament reading. So, on any given Sunday there is a relationship between the Gospel reading and the Psalm. The antiphons were chosen based on this relationship.
