The Living Water, one of Fr. Pierre-Thomas Dehau's many books, is a treatment of the contemplative life as the life of wisdom concerned with a mysterious reality, hidden and inaccessible to human powers alone. In these pages, the fruit of sixteen of his retreat conferences, Fr. Dehau guides the reader into an understanding of how to grow in union with God through charity and contemplation. The Living Water is essential reading for those who are living out a religious vocation, for those who are discerning the call to a religious vocation, and for parents who are educating their children in the school of virtue.

In these conferences preached to Benedictine contemplatives, Fr. Pierre-Thomas Dehau offers just that. This extended reflection on the living water of grace, the love of God poured out in the Holy Spirit through the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is deeply contemplative, drawing both heart and intellect into prayerful spiritual reading. The conferences are richly informed by Scripture and liturgy, and infused throughout with Thomas Aquinas's teaching on virtues, grace and freedom, and God's lavish self-gift in the Trinitarian indwelling. Fr. Dehau's energetic prose and practical examples reveal an insight into the subtle temptations and struggles which assail frail human beings called to the angelic life of contemplation, but urge simple trust in God whose designs for us are beyond imagining. These talks will inspire lay people too to drink more deeply from the fountain which springs up to eternal life. This retrieval of a French spiritual classic is a welcome source of substantive spiritual refreshment in a sometimes arid contemporary landscape." Daria Spezzano, Ph.D., Providence College
