United in Prayer - The Circumcision of Jesus Christ

“Enthroned on high with the Eternal Father and Your divine Spirit, O Jesus, You willed to be born on earth of the unwedded handmaid, your Mother. Therefore, You were circumcised as an eight-day old Child. Glory to Your most gracious counsel; Glory to Your dispensation; Glory to Your condescension, O only Lover of mankind” (Troparion of the Circumcision of Jesus Christ from the Orthodox Church).
