Devotion to the Divine House Guest of souls
"O, Divine House Guest of my soul, come, come in quickly!"
How do we prepare to greet our Eucharistic Lord when we receive Him in Holy Communion? Have we prepared our interior room to welcome Him home with a meal, a basin and water to wash His feet, a place for Him to lay His head?
About
The Devotion to the Divine House Guest of Souls is a Eucharistic and contemplative prayer that invites us to welcome Christ into the interior room of our souls—offering Him a place of peace, hospitality, and love when we receive Him in Holy Communion.
Rooted in Scripture, this devotion echoes the hospitality Abraham and Sarah showed God.
The devotion received the Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat on August 14th, 2024 in the Archdiocese of Boston.
Since then, it has spread by The Lord's doing in which He has drawn souls into the depths of His heart.
Reflections
Read how others are encountering Our Lord after receiving Him in communion and praying the chaplet to the Divine House Guest of Souls.
"As a priest, I can't recommend the Divine House Guest Devotion enough. It has been truly a blessing for me personally as I daily celebrate Mass. It has given me a deeper affection and love for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass by providing the chance to contemplate in a deeper way the closeness of Jesus Christ to me when I receive Him in Holy Communion.
Instead of just letting Mass become just a moment or another part of my day, this devotion has provided me the opportunity to daily continue to be mindful of this greatest grace that I am given, that of receiving Jesus Christ, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in Holy Communion. How I can prepare to receive Him and become a living tabernacle and make my heart a home for Him as He has made His Sacred Heart a refuge for me. This devotion pouring forth from the Sacred Heart of Our Savior as He desires for a greater intimacy with every single person, based in the Scriptures and as a fruit of the Holy Mass, will be a grace and blessing for all striving for a deeper relationship with Jesus, which I pray is all of us."
