Join Father Adam for the conclusion of The Little Prince Advent Retreat. The fourth theme is Sight: "One sees clearly only with the heart." Here are a couple quotes that Fr. Adam references in the podcast that are not found in the book: [F]ew value [friendship] because few experience it. And the possibility of going through life without the experience is rooted in that fact which separates Friendship so sharply from both the other loves [affection and eros]. Friendship is…the least natural of lo...

Join Fr. Adam Potter for this third session of The Little Prince Advent Retreat as he reflects on the theme of relationship. In a sense, thirst leads us to relationship. “[W]e’re going to die of thirst,” said the Pilot. …“So you’re thirsty, too? The pilot asked. But he didn’t answer my question. He merely said to me, “water can also be good for the heart…” (67) Consider the themes of shared responsibility, time, and suffering that leads to "creating ties" or being "tamed." Both the little prince...

Join Fr. Adam on this second theme from The Little Prince: Structural Disproportion. It's the idea that "our desire is bigger than our ability to fill it. We are structured for something that we don't have and can't supply. It's like being a cup, but there's no liquid to fill it. We are that cup and we are desperately looking for water, or any liquid we can pour into it. Anything." (Lorenzo Albacete, Priesthood and the Human Vocation ) “You and I, each and every one of us without exception, can ...

Join Fr. Adam Potter in this four part Advent Retreat on the Little Prince, by Antione de Saint-Exupery. In this first reflection, Fr. Potter reflects on the theme of becoming like little children.

Here are some of the quotes from this first retreat session: We must "not be discouraged by the difficulty or the obstacles that co...
