well I see a few options:
1- the simple one is to buy a line splitter that you plug after the Live Line out, send one signal to the FOH and the other to your monitor.
2- if the FOH or your monitor can use an S/PDIF signal, the S/PDIF and the Line out carry the same sound simultaneously;
3- I do not recommend this one, but in the mean time it could work: use the line for the FOH and the headphones out to the monitor. Be careful with the volume of the headphones out, it should work.
4- if you use an amplifier and you want only your guitar sound into the monitor, you may consider using a small 1X12 guitar cabinet and plug it to the THRU output of the Live. This way the guitar cabinet is your personal monitor, you can use a stand to make it aim at your face, like a wedge (sorry if this is not correct english, I shouldn't work on saturday night ^^). We have a lot of guitar player that use this option on stage, to keep the "feeling" of the guitar cab.
Well those are the option that come immediately to my mind, maybe other can think to a better solution.
Can I use this DI box from Radial (http://www.radialeng.com/r2011/jdi.php) to run the XLR out to the house PA and the THRU to my wedge?

I don't know this product, but from what I can see on the website, there is only one output (the XLR one), the THRU is an input.
A line splitter is quite a simple product, the main trick is to isolate the ground of the PA from the one in your wedge. A simple Y-cable could work, but it is safer to do it properly. I think Palmer has this kind of product (PLS-02), in high quality you should take a look to Little Labs or Lehle products for example. Radial has a rack line splitter but this is a little "too much" for your use in my opinion.
if you are into DIY, check this schematics from geofex:
