Matthew 19:13-15:
Jesus directs this parable to the chief priests and elders. The king and his son extend an invitation to the feast, which some refuse, some ignore and some respond in a hostile way. There are those who accept the invitation but attend without proper attire. God invites all people into relationship with him. Accepting involves a proper disposition and a willingness to change.
O God, create in me a heart, humble and contrite. I long to be with you forever and pray to be made worthy.
