About the rise - and fall - of Babel

If we build a 'Babel', we must be prepared to see it fall.

Whenever we feel 'impregnable', 
this can so easily lead to unawareness of our needs; 
the need for trust, humility, accountability and, ultimately, 
the need for God and each other.

Thank you, God, that in your infinite mercy, you are always there;
to pick us up when we are down, 
to help us rebuild and restore what we have lost;
to help us to love and care about and for others, to fulfil ourselves 
and to reconnect us 
to yourself and to each other.
