Independent Augustinian communities are Roman Catholic religious communities that follow the Augustinian Rule, but are not under the jurisdiction of the Prior General of the Augustinian hermits in Rome. They include the Augustinian nuns, the Canons Regular, the Augustinian Recollects,the Discalced Augustinian, the Norbertines, The Sisters of St Rita(), the Augustinian Sisters of Mercy of Jesus (South Africa), The Augustinians of the Assumption (which includes Byzantine Rite congregations), the Canons Regular of the Immaculate Conception, the Brothers of the Assumption (in the Congo), the Sisters of Our Lady of Consolation (Philippines), Congregation of Our Lady of the Missions, and the Hospitallers of the Mercy of Jesus (Canada). To a lesser extent there is a spiritual link, through the common Augustinian Rule with The Alexian Brothers (located in the USA, Europe, England, Ireland the Philippines and India), the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word〔c.f. The Rule of Saint Augustine and the Constitutions of the Order of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament (New York: Schwartz, Kirwin, and Fauss, 1893), pp. 33–35. 〕 (who established the University of the Incarnate Word in Texas), and the Sisters of St. Joan of Arc (in Quebec, United States, and Rome), the Dominicans and the Brothers Hospitallers of St John of God. ==Augustinian Nuns== (詳細はenclosed orders of women under the Augustinian Rule (as distinct from the active orders of religious women who also do) are usually not visible to the general public except via the internet. Historically, the most important of the observant Augustinian communities of women are: *The Spanish Augustinian tertiary nuns, founded in 1545 by Archbishop Thomas of Villanova at Valencia. * The "reformed" Augustinian nuns who originated under the influence of Augustinian-educated Carmelite St. Teresa after the end of the sixteenth century at Madrid, Alcoy, and in Portugal. The contemporary Augustinian nuns are established in centres as diverse as (New Lenox, Illinois ), (Cascia in Italy ), (Rome ), (Tabalong in the Philippines ), and (Kenya ) in Africa. Notable Augustinian nuns include composer Vittoria Aleotti (who composed the first sacred music by a woman ever to appear in print), mystic Anne Catherine Emmerich whose book ''(The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ )'' was an important influence to Mel Gibson's movie The Passion of the Christ, and the mystic Saint Rita of Cascia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Independent Augustinian communities」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
