The Magnificat is being sung in beauty pageants, in media, in politics -- this is what the amazing sharers of Session 4 talked about to several thousands of SFCs this morning.

The following brought different faces of the Magnificat alive:

- Minnie Juan, an SFC who serves passionately despite her blindness (proclaiming through serving). Minnie serves as a commentator for Holy Mass, as a household head and attends conferences.  In simple ways too, she reaches out to "those who have no friends." She explained, "With God in my life, I lack nothing. I have everything." Minnie encouraged everyone, "Never get tired of serving the Lord!"

- Scott Llanete, a former YFC UP Manila Campus President and now the youngest congressman in the Philippines (proclaiming through leading). He shared,  "When we lead, it doesn't necessarily equate to greatness but when you become great, you lead." Scott shared that he clung God even when leading became hard, especially when he and his family got ambushed. He told everyone to say to himself, "I am great because God works through me!" 

- Athena Imperial, an SFC member who is Ms. Earth Water International (proclaiming through the way she lives her life). She described how on the pageant coronation night, she surprised people in the backstage because she prayed aloud, "Sa gabing 'to, Kayo ang lumalaban para sa akin! (Tonight, You are the One fighting for me)." Athena also strives to be truly God's in the ordinary things of everyday life -- as a media practitioner, a sister, a girl friend. 

According to Shok, their lives put together is the essence of the Magnificat. Even as ordinary people, we are called to live out the Magnificat boldly everyday. [Nirva'ana Delacruz, SFC ICON Interactive]
