The Catholic Church at Carville

Carville's Leprosarium

One can only imagine how the patients poured out their souls here, how they asked "why me" and how they begged the Lord for a cure that would free them from their agony and the stigma of their disease.
I felt as though each spirit of the patients was in that church with me--in the sanctuary of outcasts.

Awesome photograph. This may be the best photo I've ever seen on PBase. Perhaps it is the lighting but I think it is more because it says so much. Made my day! Let us pray . . .
