Speak softly

After the resurrection of Jesus and the pentecost, it is in a way surprising to notice the apostles go on doing their bit, without really creating a huge uproar or fanfare.  No attempt to go viral!  No shouting from rooftops, to all and sundry.  Just plain, simple steady effort at announcing their personal journey with Jesus... with great passion and conviction. 

Not every discovery needs to be broadcasted to the whole world in the loudest of voice or the most glamourous of means. They only need to be spelt out with great conviction!

Reminds me of the dynamic role played by Marlon Brando in 'The Godfather'.  Or some roles of Robert de Niro.  Just that presence.  Without yelling or shouting, and most often by a mere look, powerfully communicating something profound or serious. 

The haunting music of The Godfather... (The song 'Speak softly...' in that sense is a real paradox!)
