After almost four weeks of work, labor, and tiring efforts, with meetings, talks, exchanges, reflections, a pleasant outing, dinners, celebrations, and long sittings, all this not without joy and happiness, we are coming to the end with these last concluding words, presented with the conviction that we have had a significant and intense General Chapter experience.
In an atmosphere of fraternal communion and profound moments of prayer, humor, and laughter, we have accomplished much good. Day after day, communion increased among us, in the desire and commitment to feeling that we are One Heart, One Soul, despite our differences and aware of our responsibility to discern together what the Lord wants for us and from us. - Charles Phukuta, Closing Message Chronica No. 4, 2023, p.164
