The Circumcision and Name of Jesus — January 1, 2025
What began on His eighth day culminates in your eighth day, the day of your baptism, the day of your resurrection! You are sons and daughters of the King through the new circumcision of the heart, that is, faith. As St. Paul writes, “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love” (Galatians 5:6). You have received this more excellent mark than circumcision, the giving you the new name, Christian. You are marked by Holy Baptism, wholly covered by Christ’s flesh.
