Summary/Abstract: Padre prof. Bernard Rey OP (born in 1933 in Billy-Montigny, France, Dominican and professor of theology) is involved for many decades in the spiritual and intellectual formation of Church environments in France which is very dominated by secular. He points out that faith is not “access to truth” but “way of human existence” in relation to Jesus as the source of truth, life and holiness. He recognizes the necessity of returning man to the roots of the Christian faith through a renewed trust in God that will transform and convert him. Man has a chance to “regain” what he has lost under the influence of evil and sin by entrusting himself to God for the sake of God’s love and goodness. P. Rey tries to show the seeker rational justifications and motives to open up to God’s action and surrender to His saving power, payingattention to the significant value of faith in the process of human self-creation. Listening to what God has to say to man is opening “door of the heart” and inviting God into your life
