Something is changing in an otherwise quiet corner of Christianity in the United States, one that prides itself on how little it has changed over time. Priests are swapping stories about record attendance numbers. Older members are adjusting — or not — to the influx of new attendees. Parishes are strategizing about how to accommodate more prospective converts than existing clergy can reasonably handle on their own. Across the country, the ancient tradition of Orthodox Christianity is attracting energetic new adherents, especially among conservative young men. They are drawn to what they describe as a more demanding, even difficult, practice of Christianity. Echoing some of the rhetoric of the so-called manosphere, new waves of young converts say Orthodoxy offers them hard truths and affirms their masculinity. “In the whole history of the Orthodox Church in America, this has never been seen,” the Very Rev.

Pope Leo XIV arrived in Lebanon this afternoon. During the flight, he reaffirmed the Holy See’s support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He also noted that, while in Turkey, he discussed plans for a major ecumenical gathering in 2033—possibly in Jerusalem—to mark 2,000 years since Christ’s death and resurrection. In Lebanon, large crowds braved heavy rain to glimpse the Pope. He was welcomed by a light show projected onto the walls of the Presidential Palace in Baabda before speeking to Lebanon’s civil authorities.

Consecration to Our Lady - II O Holy Sorrowful Mother of God, O Sweetest Virgin: I offer you my heart that you may keep it intact, like your Immaculate Heart. I offer you my intelligence, that it may conceive only thoughts of peace and goodness, of purity and truth. I offer you my will, that it may remain alive and generous in the service of God. I offer you my work, my pains, my sufferings, my anxieties, my tribulations and my tears, in my present and in my future to be presented by you to your Divine Son, for the purification of my life. Compassionate Mother, I take refuge in your Immaculate Heart, to calm the painful palpitations of my temptations, of my aridity, of my indifference and of my negligence. Hear me, O Mother, guide me, sustain me and defend me against all danger of soul and body, now and for all eternity. Amen.
