“christ a jesuit” was his panicked thought
مسیح یسوعی کابوس او بود


Explanation:
This is just another way of calling Jesus Christ. The writer is using this to convey the sense that such an ordinary person from a very small tribe was "his panicked thought".

“christ a jesuit” was his panicked thought
یا مسیح٬ یک یسوعی...


Explanation:
This should read "Christ, a Jesuit" and the meaning is as follows: the speaker sees the priest who is a member of the Jesuit order, founded in Spain and renowned as an intellectual teaching order and also considered by some to be devious. Using the name of Christ like this is very common, just like "Oh my God" and basically it means anger or surprise. For more information on the Jesuits see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesuits In any case the speaker is not happy to see the Jesuit and panics for some reason

It just occurred to me that maybe the speaker has just met the priest and realizes that he is a Jesuit priest...and he knows the reputation the Jesuits have for being intellectual and is afraid for some reason.

«یا مسیح٬ یک یسوعی» به فکر وحشت زده‌اش خطور کرد

I was so focused on "Christ, a Jesuit" that I forgot the rest of the sentence. So I have amended it above

I hope it is clear that this does NOT mean "Christ is a Jesuit". The Jesuit Order (also called the Society of Jesus) was founded in Spain in the 16th century.

agree  Ryan Emami: Again crystal clear! If you just replace فکر with ذهن, the translation will be perfect.
