The priest didn’t know that a camera was watching him when he knelt down in front of the altar and began to pray silently. His eyes closed, his hands clasped together in a gesture of reverence, he seemed completely unaware of the surveillance camera in the corner of the church. As he whispered his prayers, his face was a picture of peaceful devotion, a moment of intimacy between him and his faith that he had no idea was being captured on film. It was a rare glimpse into the private world of a man who was usually so public in his role as a spiritual leader, and it was a reminder that even in the most sacred of spaces, we are never truly alone.
