Fr. Kyle Doustou, a priest from Maine and the chaplain of the University of Maine's Newman Center, shared reflections on what it means for God to truly be with humanity always.
The season of Lent is an opportunity for Christians to ensure that their priorities are angled toward God, a Catholic priest from Maine told Fox News Digital this week. 'Time is holy. As a Catholic, this is something I believe very deeply,' said Fr. Kyle Doustou. Doustou is pastor of the Parish of the Resurrection of the Lord, which has locations in Old Town, Orono, and Bradley, Maine, as well as Penobscot Nation. He is also the chaplain for the University of Maine's Newman Center.
Remembering that God is always with humanity, said Doustou, is 'where it gets difficult.' He said, 'My life is busy, and I can so easily go into automatic, failing to be aware of the amazing presence of God. The urgent and the immediate can become my focus rather than the important and the ultimate.
