"The vineyard survives everything. It is beyond change, wear and tear, and decay. It is an image of the fruit that the Lord desires and that must be harvested from the world. The work on people always remains the same. They must be purified, supported, helped to mature, so that they can work for God. But the Son, whom the vine-growers killed, the stone which they rejected, is Christ, who, precisely because he was rejected and precisely through his death, founds the Church and gives it the certainty of his assistance."
