God’s Patience
“The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.” These words from the Prophet Isaiah (first reading and the response) provides the background for Jesus’ use of the vineyard image in the Gospel parable.
The Lord also treats the Church, the new Israel, as His vineyard.
So does God treat each of God’s children.
Think of God’s patience and repeated efforts to care for the vineyard, each one of us, and to enable us to bear fruits.
