Pope St. Felix I: “Ego te baptizo in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti [I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.]” (Fr. Alban Butler says of him: “The persecution of Aurelian breaking out, St. Felix, fearless of dangers, strengthened the weak, encouraged all, baptised the catechumens, and continued to exert himself in converting infidels to the faith. He himself obtained the glory of martyrdom; which title is given him by the council of Ephesus, (Act. 1, Conc. t. 1, p. 512.) by St. Cyril, (Apol. t. 3, Conc. p. 852.) and by St. Vincent of Lerins.”)
