In the parable of the great supper, the people who are invited refuse to come. The excuses, explains J. R. Dummelow, “show careless unconcern, not hardened wickedness. Business occupations, family ties, and various distractions, are pleaded as excuses for not taking God’s summons seriously.”

It is just such careless unconcern that Charlotte Mason feared she might find in her own heart. So she wrote out a beautiful poetic prayer in response to this parable. Read and pray with her that we too may be protected from our own trivial cares. The poem is here.
