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 loves; the least instinctive, organic, biological, gregarious and necessary. …Without Eros none of us would have been begotten and without Affection none of us would have been reared; but we can live and breed without Friendship. (CS Lewis, The Four Loves, 58)
4 Behold, you are beautiful, my love, behold, you are beautiful! Your eyes are doves behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats, moving down the slopes of Gilead. 2 Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes that have come up from the washing, all of which bear twins, and not one among them is bereaved. 3 Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely. Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil. 4 Your neck is like the tower of David, built for an arsenal, whereon hang a thousand bucklers, all of them shields of warriors. (Song of Songs 4:1-4)
[W]hat the Church teaches affects even the things already in the landscape, the things of ordinary experience. It is like a physical landscape at sunrise: it is not that you see the same things that you saw before and now find yourself seeing the sun as well. You see everything sun-bathed. Similarly it is not a case of seeing the same universe as other people and then seeing God over and above. For God is at the center of the being of everything whatsoever. If we would see the Universe aright, we must see it God-bathed. (Frank Sheed, Theology and Sanity, 28)
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 and the pilot have their own journeys to understanding true love, and it culminates at the well.
Here are some helpful quotes used in the podcast, not in the book:
“The prince also begins to understand that his own actions within the relationship have bound him to the flower permanently. For one, the time and care he has lavished on the rose have transformed his own feelings toward her: she has gone from being simply a flower like any other to “his” flower. The relationship has also changed the flower herself, in the sense that it has made her more vulnerable. The prince, for instance, often things of the “four ridiculous thorns” (80) the flower has to protect herself, but this physical fragility is largely a metaphor for the flower’s new emotional fragility. Now that she loves him, he has the capacity to hurt her. As a result, the prince comes to feel that he has a duty to return to his rose.” (Study Guide, 50)
"Each of us can experience that in [Jesus’s] eyes we are loved, chosen by God, in an extremely personal way. We often have a feeling that God loves in a general way: he loves all men. But being loved in a ‘global’ way cannot satisfy us. And it is absolutely different from the reality of the particular, unique love that God the Father has for each of his children. God’s love is personal and individual. God does not love two people in the same way because it is actually his love that creates our personality, a different personality for each. There is a much greater difference between people’s souls than between their faces, says St. Teresa of Avila." (Jacques Phillippe, Thirsting for Prayer, 22-23)
"Even more mysteriously beautiful, God’s infinite love also makes Him infinitely vulnerable. Love makes the lover vulnerable. He is moved by the Beloved. She brings Him out of Himself. He gives all He is to each one without ever becoming less because He is infinite. He pours Himself out in creating us in His Image. He pours out His image and shares His very self with us. He pours Himself out in infinite vulnerability, emptying His divine self to become human (Phil 2:6-8), and becomes one with us in the Incarnation. He pours Himself out totally for us on the Cross as He suffers anything and everything that has ever been suffered for the sake of His Beloved. God becomes radically vulnerable, using all His divine power not to protect Himself but to love more deeply and become more vulnerable to us. And He does this for all, and for each and every one as if each were the only one." (Frs. Acklin & Hicks, OSB, Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love, 11)
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 be defined as an aching need for the infinite. Some people realize this; some do not. But even the latter illustrate this inner ache when, not having God deeply, they incessantly spill themselves out into excitements and experiences, licit or illicit. They are trying to fill their inner emptiness, but they never succeed, which is why the search is incessant. Though worldly pleasure seeking never fulfills and satisfies in a continuing way, it may tend momentarily to distract and to dull the profound pain of the inner void. If these people allow themselves a moment of reflective silence (which they seldom do), they notice a still, small voice whispering, is this all there is? They begin to sense a thirst to love with abandon, without limit, without end, without lingering aftertastes of bitterness. In other words, their inner spirit is clamoring, even if confusedly, for unending beauty.” (Fr. Thomas Dubay, Evidential Power of Beauty, pg. 17)
“The heart is originally poor with that ‘original solitude’ or ‘original poverty’ that is man’s initial condition from which he yearns to be set free…this original condition of thirst…is the way the heart is oriented to the Mystery that alone can fulfill it.” (Albacete, Traces, September edition 1999, pg. 2)
Proverbs 17:1 -- "Better is a dry morsel with quiet; than a house full of feasting with strife."
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. He highlights the power of imagination, as exemplified by children. It is contrasted by the "serious" adults who have become distracted from their true creative longings.
Here are some of the quotes from this first retreat session:
We must "not be discouraged by the difficulty or the obstacles that come form sin. In this regard, we must not forget that the dynamism of desire is always open to redemption. ...We all, moreover, need to set out on the path of purification and healing of desire. We are pilgrims, heading for the heavenly homeland." (Benedict XVI, Nov 7, 2012)
"What are you looking for?" (The first question posed by Jesus to disciples in gospel John) “…this seems to be an important question because the rest of the Gospel is going to be an interplay between the answer to this question and Christ. Christ identifying himself as that which fulfills those desires. But if we are not familiar with those desires or haven’t really thought it through, then we cannot recognize the value of whatever it is Jesus offers to us.” (Alabacete, What is Christian in Christianity?, 101)
“Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.” (GK Chesterton, Orthodoxy)

WEEK FOUR: Into the Darkness
This week, we look at the darkness that we experience in our lives. St. Therese experienced a deep darkness towards the end of her life, but continued to trust, abandoning herself to Merciful Love time and time again.
Fr. Adam Potter helps us understand how we can continue to offer ourselves to Merciful Love, even in our darkness.

St. Therese entrusted herself entirely to the Lord: showing itself in the Offering to Merciful Love. Her consecration to Jesus is what we are journeying towards. This same and total abandonment to Jesus’ love and mercy that St. Therese encompassed.

WEEK TWO: The Little Way
Holiness isn’t about always doing the biggest, hardest work for the Lord. Rather, it can be a simple life following “the Little Way” of trusting all that we have to Christ, and giving Him even our small daily tasks as an act of love.
As St. Therese can testify, the Lord delights in the lowly, the meek and humble of heart. Throughout this week, let us hand over every aspect of our lives to the Lord, trusting Jesus’ infinite mercy!

WEEK ONE: What is Trust?
In the first week of this podcast, Fr. Adam Potter explores St. Therese’s teachings on faith and trust as the foundations of our lives. Trust is not just something for those without anxieties, it is necessary for us all!
The foundation of trust is crucial as we receive Christ’s love and mercy throughout this first week. Our Lord is good and always faithful, let us follow the guidance of St. Therese and learn to trust in His providence and mercy!
Day 1: The Eve of Darkness
If you would like to support the work of Dry Bones Ministries please visit drybonespgh.org.
In today’s episode, Fr. Adam Potter begins by walking us through the introduction to this consecration to Merciful Love and why we should entrust our lives to the Divine Mercy.
We are introduced to a very special Saint and friend: St. Therese of Lisieux. She will accompany us as we prepare to abandon ourselves to Divine Mercy, where we will follow after her way of consecration.
Join us in our journey towards Christ’s Most Sacred Heart with our friend and companion, St. Therese!

In today’s episode, Fr. Adam dives into the fourth and final type of love: charity.
Charity, or agape, should be our goal and to what all the other types of love point. It is the unconditional love that we experience through our Father in heaven. It risks our time, our sacrifice, and our hearts.
“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken.” - C.S. Lewis

In today's episode Father Adam goes over the third type of love, eros.
Eros, or romantic love, is not just the feeling of falling in love with someone else. Rather, our love and self-gift of ourselves to one other person is a reflection of the love that we must give to Christ. So often in the Bible, the love between a man and a woman is compared to Christ and His Church, the bride and the Bridegroom.

In today’s episode, join Fr. Adam in unpacking the next type of love: the love of friendship.
Friendship is a common experience that so many people share. However, many people believe that they can live their lives without friendship, and rather just focus on romantic love, affection, and charity.
However, friendship – Lewis argues – mirrors heaven where we will all be in relationship with one another in a new way.

In today’s episode, Fr. Adam dives into the first type of love: affection.
It's always around us, in the normal day-to-day of life, and it is the majority of the love we experience, even if we don’t label it.

In today’s episode, Fr. Adam unpacks chapter 2: “Likings and loves for the sub-human”.
As we dive into this chapter, we are continuing to dive deeper into what love really means, and how to live it out in our own lives.

Through his work of fiction, Lewis gives a behind-the-scenes look at the struggle between good and evil in the form of a series of letters from a senior demon Screwtape to his nephew Wormwood, a junior tempter.

From the Final 4, to a surprise visit, to the Resurrection, God's way is incomparably good and totally unexpected.
Ninth Day:
Today bring to Me SOULS WHO HAVE BECOME LUKEWARM, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy.
Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love, let these tepid souls, who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen.
Eighth Day:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE DETAINED IN PURGATORY, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy.
Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen.
Seventh Day:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ESPECIALLY VENERATE AND GLORIFY MY MERCY,* and immerse them in My mercy.
Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God:
Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His glory. Amen.
Sixth Day:
Today bring to Me THE MEEK AND HUMBLE SOULS AND THE SOULS OF LITTLE CHILDREN, and immerse them in My mercy.
Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart." Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father's favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Fifth Day:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM THE CHURCH.
Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son's Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Fourth Day:
Today bring to Me THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD* AND THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW ME.
Most compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Third Day:
Today bring to Me ALL DEVOUT AND FAITHFUL SOULS, and immerse then in the ocean of My mercy.
Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Second Day:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy.
Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard—upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.
We begin the First Day of the Divine Mercy Novena. Included are the Novena Prayers.
First Day:
Today bring to Me ALL MANKIND, ESPECIALLY ALL SINNERS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.

St. Peter Julian Eymard's Act of Consecration:
I consecrate myself to you, good Saint Joseph, as my spiritual father; I choose you to rule my soul and to teach me the interior life, the life hidden away with Jesus, Mary, and yourself.
Above all, I want to imitate the humble silence with which you shrouded Jesus, Mary, and yourself, and even your own happiness. For me everything lies in that—total abnegation like our Lord in His hidden life, making the world forget me by my silence and my practice of the common life.
I consecrate myself to you as my guide and model in all my duties so that I may learn to fulfill them with meekness and humility: with meekness toward my brethren, my neighbor, and all with whom I come in contact; with humility toward myself and simplicity before God.
I choose you, good Saint, as my counselor, my confidant, my protector in all my difficulties and trials. I do ask to be spared crosses and sufferings, but only from self-love which might vitiate their value by making me vain over them.
I shall honor and love and serve you with Mary, my mother; never shall I separate her name from yours in my love.
Gladly would I be like you, Saint Joseph, a poor carpenter, unknown and despised, food for the roots of the tree, the Master’s gardener who never leaves the garden, who knows nothing but his plants, who loves only his flowers and sees only their fruits, and dies in the corner of his hut in the arms of Jesus and Mary. We do not know the place of your burial, so we cannot honor your remains. You leave behind you only your mantle of poverty and humility.
O Jesus, give me Joseph for a father as you have given me Mary as a Mother. Fill me with devotion, confidence, and filial love. Listen to my prayer, please. I know that you will. Already I feel more devout, more full of hope and confidence in good Saint Joseph, your foster father and my adopted father. Amen.
We continue our journey by today looking at Joseph as the Protector of the Holy Church. We will also continue our recitation of St. Peter Julian Eymard’s Act of Consecration Prayer to prepare us to say it most fully on the consecration day—only one day away.
