What The Little Prince Teaches About Growing Up
Published 4 hours ago
Is The Little Prince really a children's book? Fr. Bonaventure and Fr. Patrick explore one of the novel's most profound themes: the tension between the way children and adults see the world.
Why do adults become obsessed with numbers, productivity, and measurable success? What does it mean to recover a truly childlike vision, not by becoming childish, but by rediscovering wonder with mature wisdom? Drawing connections to C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and the Christian call to spiritual simplicity, this conversation uncovers why some of the deepest truths are found in stories written for children.
Watch the full episode to hear the friars unpack big takeaways from The Little Prince.
