Whisper

No matter how loudly

you speak about God and your

religious practices and beliefs –

no matter how sound your orthodoxy –

   your voice is a fragile whisper

   when compared to the

   voluminous-shout

   of how you live with

   and treat other people –

   your visible orthopraxy.

      That's the reason Jesus couldn't

      separate the commands

      to love God and love neighbor.

      Integrity of faith requires both;

      one cannot exist without the other.
