"The richness of [these] reflections will continue for a long time to be for us a source of blessing, of grace, of encounter with Jesus Christ." Pope Leo XIV

Alight with Hidden Glory brings together the reflections preached by Bishop Erik Varden to Pope Leo XIV and the Roman Curia at the 2026 Lent retreat.

Informed by Scripture and the liturgy, illumined by the insights of Bernard of Clairvaux, a man who helped shape medieval Europe, the book addresses questions of timeless relevance: What is the meaning of freedom? How can we speak well about truth? How do we respond when high ideals are compromised by human betrayal?

Erik Varden reveals Lent not as deprivation but as a clarifying pilgrimage toward Christ’s ‘hidden glory’. This contemplative yet urgent work invites readers to walk the exodus path with renewed courage, vigilance, and hope.

Erik Varden is a monk and bishop. Norwegian by birth, he studied at Cambridge and in Rome. Having served as abbot of Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, he was appointed to the ancient see of Trondheim in 2019. His books are read throughout the world. With Bloomsbury Continuum he has previously published The Shattering of Loneliness, Entering the Twofold Mystery, Chastity, and Healing Wounds.
