Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE
527
Jesus’ circumcision, on the eighth day after his birth,209 is the sign
of his incorporation into Abraham’s descendants, into the people of the
covenant. It is the sign of his submission to the Law210 and his
deputation to Israel’s worship, in which he will participate throughout his
life. This sign prefigures that “circumcision of Christ” which is
Baptism.211
