Alexander Briant
He was raised Protestant –
later, upon studies,
he converted to Catholicism
and became a Jesuit
as is current pope Francis.
He labored with zeal
after ordination,
proclaiming true religion to all Nations.
With six other priests he was arraigned
on the charge of high treason
and condemned to death by an English court.
He was subjected to inhuman tortures and executed.
In prison, he converted
many fellow prisoners,
imprinting the cross of Christ
on their minds.
