HIGH FIDELITY
“Who, then, is a faithful and wise servant?” – Matthew 24:45
Google the synonym of “faithfulness” and one of the words you would get is “fidelity.”
Back in my college days, when I was studying Electronics, the term “high fidelity” or hi-fi was defined as “an electronic sound equipment that gives faithful reproduction with little or no distortion.” In layman’s terms, the equipment reproduces the sound closely resembling the original. Thus, hi-fi equipment should be faithful to the source.
Today, modern sound engineering has gone a long way since my days of studying Engineering. New and more sophisticated systems than the hi-fi have emerged. One can only marvel at how science has reduced the distortions in sound, all for the purpose of reproducing music from the source with utmost fidelity.
Science has allowed evangelization to have different media as well — from radio, to TV, to the Internet, to satellite communications. We can only be thankful for the means available to us to preach God’s Word. But more than all these, the Lord and the world are looking for hi-fi Christians who are a faithful reproduction of the Source. Ariel Driz (adriz77@yahoo.com)

REFLECTION:
Am I a high fidelity Christian? Am I a faithful reproduction of the Source?
Lord Jesus, I pray for the grace to be a high fidelity Christian not just by my words but my actions as well. Amen.
St. Jeanne Jugan, pray for us.
