"The missions of the Old and New Covenants, with all their differences, are a service to the vineyard. Between them is the mission of Jesus, a mission of an incomparable kind, and yet a mission in the vineyard. A mission to admonish the vine-growers, to call them back to bring all the fruit of the vineyard to the Father. He will be killed, but from his death new missions will spring forth. All the envoys of the New Covenant work and labour at what the Son has made possible and opened up with his death, in participation in his filial mission."
