The Monastic Fraternities of Jerusalem were founded in 1975 by Brother Pierre-Marie Delfieux ( died March 2013) (until then prior general) with the aim of promoting the spirit of the monastic desert (cf. Charles de Foucauld) in the heart of cities. In the communities' ''Rule of Life'', Delfieux answers the question: why Jerusalem? ''"Because Jerusalem is the city given by God to men and built by men for God, thereby becoming the foremost of the cities of the world, and because your vocation is to be a city-dweller, you are a monk, a nun of Jerusalem.'' §161 ''Be vigilant to keep in your heart a true concern for communion with all the sons of Abraham, Jews and Muslims, who are like you worshippers of the one God and for whom Jerusalem is equally a holy City."'' §174 These Catholic communities are present in * Belgium : Saint-Gilles * Canada : Montréal (2004) * France : Paris (1975) Vézelay (1993) Strasbourg (1995) Mont-Saint-Michel (2001) La Ferté-Imbault/Indre (département) (Magdala retreat house), Lourdes-Ossun * Germany: Cologne, Groß St. Martin (2009) * Italy : Florence, Pistoia, Gamogna (1998), Trinità dei Monti in Rome (2006) * Poland : Warsaw, (2010) ==See also== * Catholic religious order * New Monasticism related communities. * Bose Monastic Community * Order of Watchers (Ordre des Veilleurs), a French Protestant fraternity of hermits. 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「Monastic Fraternities of Jerusalem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
