History

In March of 2023, after four years of receiving messages from Our Lord in Adoration, the prayers for the devotion to the Divine House Guest of Souls were given to this Eucharistic Adorer. 

 

Over the course of a few weeks, Our Lord described the devotion that He would like to be promulgated out into the world. This included an image which He described in detail. The messages were then given over to this adorer’s spiritual director, a priest of the Archdiocese of Boston. This priest agreed that the
prayers should be submitted to the diocese for review and approval and sent them in.

 

In August of 2024, word was received that the Devotion and Chaplet had been approved, given the Nihil Obstat and the Imprimatur on August 14th! So began the work of sharing this beautiful, hopeful and delightful devotion with the faithful! Our Lord asked that the work be done by the adorer and his wife, of getting the devotion to His priests, who can offer it to their flocks as a means to a closer encounter with Christ.

“O my Divine House Guest, one can never say Thank You enough for these Your Eucharistic visits.” The Devotion to the Divine House Guest of Souls, invites us to warmly welcome Our Lord Jesus Christ as we receive Him in Holy Communion and then to offer Him rest, refreshment, silence and delight, in the interior room of the soul. Rooted in Scripture and the hospitality shown to God by Abraham and Sarah; Genesis 18, the devotion invites souls to do the same and to become another close, intimate friend of the Lord’s.

‘May the Divine House Guest be offered hospitality. May He be adored by all hearts who receive Him, all over the world, until the end of time.’
The prayers of the devotion are Eucharistic, silent and contemplative. The prayer begins before Holy Mass as one prays an Act of Contrition, asking forgiveness and cleansing the room of the heart. Upon entering the church, one blesses oneself with Holy Water in the name of the Lord’s victorious cross, then one makes a profound genuflection.

 

The Eucharistic portion of the devotion is silently prayed before receiving Holy Communion. The soul invites the Divine House Guest of Souls to come in and offers Him rest and love. After receiving the Lord, one enters into a quiet contemplative time with Him, spending those precious moments together.

 

“O Divine House Guest, who has come into my soul, may You find rest for Yourself. May You find refreshment for Yourself. May You find silence for Yourself. May You take delight in Your stay here.”

​

The Chaplet to the Divine House Guest is prayed on rosary beads and can be prayed immediately following Mass or alternatively, later on in the day. The prayer is full of love for the One who has entered the soul and allows one to become a good innkeeper of the interior house. For each decade of the Chaplet, the Lord asks us to contemplate the hospitality given to Him by the following great saints and to ask for their assistance and intercession. Abraham and Sarah, the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph the Just, St. Paul of Tarsus, St. John the Beloved and St. Therese of Lisieux.

 

In Faith, Hope and Love,
