Catholics know humility helps us more at Judgment than vanity.

Question 1: “What overlooked human invention made God concerned about people?”
Answer: “Today’s Reading from Genesis 11:1-9 explains that ‘molds’ were an important invention! ‘The whole world spoke the same language, using the same words. While the people were migrating in the east, they came upon a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there.’
Then!
‘They said to one another, ‘Come, let us mold bricks and harden them with fire.’
They used bricks for stone, and bitumen for mortar.’”

Question 2: “What did the people decide to do with the ‘molds’ they invented to mass-produce bricks from clay?”
Answer: “‘Then they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky, and so make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered all over the earth.’”

Question 3: “How did God solve the problem?”
Answer: “God realized: ‘They are all speaking the same language, . . Let us then go down and there confuse their language, so that one will not understand what another says.’ Thus The Lord scattered them from there all over the earth, and they stopped building the city.’

Question 4: “Did God bless any of the people He scattered around the earth?”
Answer: “Psalm 33:10-15 includes: ‘He who fashioned the heart of each, He who knows all their works. Blessed the people The Lord has chosen to be His own.’”
~
Question 5: “Which people on earth understand that?”
Answer: “John 15:15 is easy to remember: ‘I call you My friends, says The Lord, for I have made known to you all that The Father has told Me.’
Then, Jesus uses Mark 8:34-9:1 to let us disconnect ourselves from those people in Babel who focused on inventing molds to gain money and power: ‘Jesus summoned the crowd with His disciples and said to them, ‘Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and that of the Gospel will save it.’”

Question 6: “What happens to the immortal souls of those who reject Jesus and The Church He Spoke Into Being with His Church-Creating Gospel to His First Catholic Pope: ‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’?”
Answer: “May all be blessed to respect He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies enough to not go to Judgment among: ‘Whoever is ashamed of Me and of My words in this faithless and sinful generation, the son of man will be ashamed of when He comes in His Father’s Glory with The Holy Angels.’”

Today’s Simple Rhyme: “I know more than God about what is best for Me / When I go to His Judgment, I’m sure He will agree.”
