The theme of the day will be “The gifts and the call are irrevocable" . It is going to be the second year in succession that the Bishops celebrate this day known by the Latin name "Dies iudaicus" . the Bishops in their message evoke the Hebrew roots of the Christian faith and the need of making Christians aware of their special relations with Hebrew people. Christian faith was founded on the ancient covenant between God and the chosen people. The Christian credo, say the bishops is rooted in the faith of the Hebrew people. In this context the Bishops were concerned with the new wave of anti-semitism that was once again raising its head in Europe.
