St. Edmund Campion
 When in 1566 England's Queen Elizabeth I visited Oxford University, she was very impressed by a twenty six-year-old Protestant scholar chosen to greet her with a salutary speech, Edmund Campion. But soon, the study of the works of the Church Fathers would lead the young man to begin questioning his Protestant beliefs.
Journeying to Douai, France, in 1572, Edmund converted to the Catholic faith and began studying for the priesthood. A year later he entered the Jesuit Order in Rome. As a novice, he experienced in a garden a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary foretelling his martyrdom in England. In 1580, three years after his ordination, Father Campion returned to England. In July of 1581, he was captured by the Elizabethan authorities. He suffered torture on a rack, and on December 1, 1581, was executed by drawing and quartering at Tyburn, London.
His Feast Day is December 1. |
