Fr. Nathan Reesman writes with insight and wisdom about another dimension of Pentecost: "One strong theological thread running through its celebration is the Church’s joy at the reversal of the tragedy of the Tower of Babel that is accomplished at Pentecost.  These two Biblical events are directly related to each other, and as one understands the connection, one marvels at the power of God exercised on behalf of humanity, grasping more deeply the implication of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit."
