The Circumcision of Christ Explained | Fortitude, Baptism, and Glory

About this sermon

The Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord, traditionally celebrated on January 1st, marks the first shedding of Christ’s Precious Blood, only eight days after His birth. For centuries, Christians were obligated to assist at Mass on this day to witness the foreshadowing of the Cross and the beginning of Our Lord’s redemptive suffering. In this sermon, we reflect deeply on: The mystery of the Circumcision of Christ The gift of fortitude from the Holy Ghost Why concupiscence remains after baptism The teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas and the Council of Trent Courage and confidence in a time when Christendom appears in ruins How our struggles can lead to a greater degree of glory in Heaven Though modern reforms renamed this feast, the mystery itself remains essential to our faith. This sermon invites the faithful to bypass controversy and instead contemplate the supernatural courage of Christ, who submits to the Law and sheds His Blood for our salvation. As we begin a new year, we are reminded of the angelic command: “Do not be afraid.” True Christian joy is not noise or distraction, but the deep relief of knowing God is with us. May this meditation strengthen your resolve, renew your confidence in God, and help you carry your trials to the heavenly crib, where Christ transforms them for His glory. 🙏 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
