In today’s gospel reading, Jesus tells a vineyard parable, which serves as an image
of Israel, the prophets’ mission, and Christ’s death. For Christians, the vineyard
also speaks of God’s love poured out in the blood of Christ, given to us for the
forgiveness of sin. Grafted onto Christ the vine at baptism, we are nourished with
wine and bread so that we may share Christ’s sufferings and know the power of his
resurrection.
