And they [devout men from every nation] were amazed and wondered, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? . . . What does this mean?" --Acts 2:5-6,12
It means God is enough to fill the needs of EVERY human heart.
It means the Infinite Mystery is beyond the limits of any specific human culture.
It means that God is stepping into human hystery - ha ha! providential typo - also human history :) again to reverse the sentence at Babel.

Those of Us Who Overextend Ourselves
I think some of us who have had challenging lives just need to give more back.
It's like we're more comfortable living under the same amount of stress we grew up with. Or we try to fix in other people's lives what we couldn't fix in our own families.
The problem, of course, is that however many other lives we help, we still don't heal our family, our experiences, and the wounds remain.
