A few weeks ago I was talking religion with some friends, and one of them claimed the Our Father (the Lord’s Prayer) plays into a mindset of blind obedience and unquestioning submission.
This guy was raised Protestant, and Reformed Protestantism isn’t exactly known for its richness of mystical or spiritual teaching. So I took this as an opportunity to explain the value of the Lord’s Prayer.
Originally from Queens, N.Y., and having grown up in Dayton, OH, Agostino Taumaturgo is a unique figure. He is the product of the unlikely combination of coming from a Traditional Roman Catholic background and a spirituality-friendly home. It was in this home that Agostino first learned the basics of meditation, prayer, and spiritual working.
In time Agostino completed his theology studies and was ordained to the priesthood and was later consecrated a bishop. He has since left the Traditional movement and brings this knowledge to the “outside world” through his teaching and writing, discussing spiritual issues and practical matters through the lens of traditional Christian theology.
