Why does the Little Prince leave his beloved rose? And what does he ultimately learn about love?

In this clip, Fr. Patrick and Fr. Bonaventure discuss one of the deepest themes in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince: that authentic love isn't simply about affection or emotion—it's about responsibility, sacrifice, and the gift of time.

If you've ever wondered why The Little Prince continues to resonate with readers of every age, tune into the full episode as they unpack why.
