A wolf, a lamb, and Advent

How can we prepare our hearts for true unity this Advent season? Fr. Leo Austin explores Isaiah’s prophecy of peace —where the wolf dwells with the lamb, as a symbol of the harmony God desires within each soul. Through John the Baptist’s call to repentance, Fr. Leo invites listeners to clear spiritual deserts and welcome Christ’s transforming presence. True preparation for Christmas means becoming instruments of unity — healing divisions within ourselves and with others. Drawing on examples from Scripture, Pope Francis, and even a lighthearted cartoon, we are reminded that holiness often begins in small acts of love, forgiveness, and beauty that reflect the peace of God’s kingdom.
