VI.Conclusion
With the promulgation and publication of the GPF, the General Government has kept the commitment asked of it by the last General Chapter. Its realisation, both in methodology and in time, has also been carried out following the orientations of the same Chapter.
What was once a strongly felt aspiration of the Congregation has been made possible through the work of the IFC, the participation and co-responsibility of the whole Congregation. And, in a particular way, we have been aided by the special assistance of the Heart of Mary, our Mother and Formatrix, under whose protection the process of drafting the GPF began. To Her we give wholehearted thanks, asking Her that the GPF may be an instrument of authentic and solid Claretian formation, for the good of the Church and of the Congregation.
