The Labourers in the Vineyard - General Audience

"At times we have the impression that we cannot find meaning for our lives: we feel useless, inadequate, just like the labourers who wait in the marketplace, waiting for someone to hire them to work."

Today’s speech was given by Pope Leo XIV on June 4, 2025, during his weekly general audience. This is part of the cycle of catechesis on the theme “Jesus Christ our Hope”. This series of catechesis focuses on the life of Jesus through the parables. This week: the parable of the labourers in the vineyard.
