| Sumario: | This commentary on the Lord’s Prayer examines its tone of spiritual abandonment and cultural secondariness. The Our Father was a buttress of faith and liturgy for the medieval Church, while the prayer’s sense of desolation gives it a “bohemian” quality associated with poets and vagabonds. Later on, the Cathars adopted the Pater Noster as a “central text” having esoteric and spiritual importance. Although the Cathars were persecuted in the Middle Ages as heretics, their understanding of the Lord’s Prayer returns us to the prayer’s sense of isolation and cosmic abandonment.
