The Blessed Matthew Carrieri, O.P., ((イタリア語:Matteo Carrieri); ca 1420 – 5 October 1470) was a Dominican friar noted for the "austerity of his life." He was the spiritual instructor of Stephana de Quinzanis, and like her, an alleged stigmatic. ==Life== He was born Giovanni Francesco Carrieri in the city of Mantua some time around 1420.〔The source for this name was in Spanish, and gave Matthew Carrieri's original name as ''Juan Francisco''. It may be reasonable to assume then, that, being Italian, his name would be ''Giovanni Francesco''.〕 He took the name Matthew when he entered the Dominican Order. His later success as a preacher was inarguable, attributable to the significant time he spent in spiritual exercises and meditation between preaching.〔Butler's ''Lives of the Saints''〕 One of the major events in Carrieri's life was his capture by a Turkish corsair, while on a voyage from Genoa to Pisa.〔For an account of this story in Carrieri's life, see (Mores Catholici, Or, Ages of Faith ) by Kenelm Henry Digby (pp. 347-348).〕 When asked to explain their purpose for being on board the ship, Carrieri spoke up so forcefully and convincingly, that the captain set him and the two friars accompanying him free. The friar then saw that the pirates were still keeping a woman and her daughter captive, planning to sell them into slavery in Algeria. He proposed to the captain that they keep him in their place. So shocked was the pirate captain by Carrieri's willingness to sacrifice himself, that he freed all five captives.〔 Carrieri was a very close associate of a noted Dominican tertiary, the Blessed Stephana de Quinzanis, in her youth. He was responsible for her catechesis, and predicted that she would be his "spiritual heiress." The meaning of this statement was illuminated when Stephana also began to experience pains similar to Carrieri's, which, according to those concerned, were the result of his devotion to the Passion of Christ.〔 Carrieri's hagiography states that on 5 October 1470 he asked his superior for permission to die, and upon receiving this, he died.〔 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「Matthew Carrieri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
