This document is a welcome message for a school recollection retreat with the theme "A Call to Life Renewal". It discusses the importance of relationships with God, others, and oneself. It highlights Bible verses about loving God and your neighbor. It then provides examples of God's immense power seen from outer space and His intimate care seen from conception. While God created the vast universe, He is also interested in and cares for each individual person. The document aims to show that God is a great, caring and loving God who can be relied on and should be made known to others.
