The image of the vineyard is clear: it represents the people whom the Lord has chosen and formed with such care; the servants sent by the landowner are the prophets, sent by God, while the son represents Jesus. And just as the prophets were rejected, so too Christ was rejected and killed (Pope Francis)
L’immagine della vigna è chiara: rappresenta il popolo che il Signore si è scelto e ha formato con tanta cura; i servi mandati dal padrone sono i profeti, inviati da Dio, mentre il figlio è figura di Gesù. E come furono rifiutati i profeti, così anche il Cristo è stato respinto e ucciso (Papa Francesco)
‘Lazarus’ means ‘God helps’. Lazarus, who is lying at the gate, is a living reminder to the rich man to remember God, but the rich man does not receive that reminder. Hence, he will be condemned not because of his wealth, but for being incapable of feeling compassion for Lazarus and for not coming to his aid. In the second part of the parable, we again meet Lazarus and the rich man after their death (vv. 22-31). In the hereafter the situation is reversed [Pope Francis]
“Lazzaro” significa “Dio aiuta”. Lazzaro, che giace davanti alla porta, è un richiamo vivente al ricco per ricordarsi di Dio, ma il ricco non accoglie tale richiamo. Sarà condannato pertanto non per le sue ricchezze, ma per essere stato incapace di sentire compassione per Lazzaro e di soccorrerlo. Nella seconda parte della parabola, ritroviamo Lazzaro e il ricco dopo la loro morte (vv. 22-31). Nell’al di là la situazione si è rovesciata [Papa Francesco]
Brothers and sisters, a frequent flaw of those in authority, whether civil or ecclesiastic authority, is that of demanding of others things — even righteous things — that they do not, however, put into practise in the first person. They live a double life. Jesus says: “They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger (v.4). This attitude sets a bad example of authority, which should instead derive its primary strength precisely from setting a good example. Authority arises from a good example, so as to help others to practise what is right and proper, sustaining them in the trials that they meet on the right path. Authority is a help, but if it is wrongly exercised, it becomes oppressive; it does not allow people to grow, and creates a climate of distrust and hostility, and also leads to corruption (Pope Francis)
Fratelli e sorelle, un difetto frequente in quanti hanno un’autorità, sia autorità civile sia ecclesiastica, è quello di esigere dagli altri cose, anche giuste, che però loro non mettono in pratica in prima persona. Fanno la doppia vita. Dice Gesù: «Legano infatti fardelli pesanti e difficili da portare e li pongono sulle spalle della gente, ma essi non vogliono muoverli neppure con un dito» (v.4). Questo atteggiamento è un cattivo esercizio dell’autorità, che invece dovrebbe avere la sua prima forza proprio dal buon esempio. L’autorità nasce dal buon esempio, per aiutare gli altri a praticare ciò che è giusto e doveroso, sostenendoli nelle prove che si incontrano sulla via del bene. L’autorità è un aiuto, ma se viene esercitata male, diventa oppressiva, non lascia crescere le persone e crea un clima di sfiducia e di ostilità, e porta anche alla corruzione (Papa Francesco)
This is the road Jesus points out to all who want to be his disciples: "Judge not... condemn not... forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you.... Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful" (Lk 6: 36-38). In these words we find very practical instructions for our daily conduct as believers [Pope Benedict]
