The fulfiller of His own Law, the Creator of the ages, is circumcised in the flesh as an eight-day old infant. And He is wrapped in swaddling clothes as a mortal and is nursed on milk, even while maintaining in His infinite power the entire world as God, who by His act orders all things.
He who avoiding scission or flux was from the Father born as Logos, and God from God, ineffably as an infant is in the flesh circumcised remaining unaltered in Divinity. And so in accordance with His own Law, He who is beyond the Law now ransoms from the Law's curse the human race, and He has bestowed heaven's blessing upon us all. Therefore we worthily extol and praise Him with gratitude, and His superlative goodness and condescension we glorify; and earnestly praying, we implore Him to bestow His great mercy on our souls.
