On the 8th day following birth in Jewish culture, the baby was named. Jesus was so named because "God saves", through Him.
Indeed, God has blessed us and shown us mercy, because He has redeemed us, by sending His Son to be born of a woman, Mary, to live among us, so that He could die, and rise to new life, that we may share in it.
Mary bore the Son of God within her, and so do we who profess faith in God, as He takes up residence within us through His Spirit. We ponder this mystery of being God bearers deeply, like Mary did, even as much as we proclaim it to the world.
