Tabernacle at the chapel of the Redemptoristines in Minburi, ThailandIt is the payoff of divine love. There, Jesus gives us not only his merits, his sorrows, but He also gives Himself to us. Only a God could have conceived such a thing, such an intimate union.
Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880–1906)

    What a beautiful tabernacle. I have never seen any thing like that. I’m sure Jesus is very happy there,

      Yes, it’s based on Thai-style architecture. Which I guess is a clear way of saying that Jesus lives in Thailand, right there. =)
