At the Monastery of Christ in the Desert, a remote abbey beside the Chama River in northern New Mexico, some two dozen Benedictine monks begin their days in darkness.At 3:30 a.m. one Sunday this past winter, a bell summoned the monks to vigils, the night prayer.Under a clear sky full of stars, they made their way in silence from their cloister cells to an adobe chapel.
