Feast of the Ascension a chance to reflect on 'letting go' to grow in faith, says Maine priest
Fox News
Fr. Kyle Doustou of Maine reflected on Acts 1:9, “And when he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight."
For Fr. Kyle Doustou, a priest of the Diocese of Portland and pastor of the Resurrection of the Lord parish in Old Town, Maine, the verses describing the Ascension also allude to something else: growing up and letting things go. "The sense of loss must have been profound. What were they going to do? Why did it have to be this way? Wouldn’t it have better if Jesus had just remained?" Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
"I will never forget the day my parents dropped me off at the seminary to begin my studies for the priesthood back in 2007," Doustou told Fox News Digital.
