O God, who hast made the most glorious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, thine only-begotten Son, to be exceeding sweet and supremely lovable to thy faithful servants: Mercifully grant that all who devoutly venerate this name of Jesus on earth may in this life receive thy holy comfort, and in the life to come attain thine unending joy; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
–Sarum Missal
Today the Church celebrates the Holy Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, eight days after his birth when he was given his name and circumcised.
