IF ANGELS ARE IN YOUR HOUSE… YOU WILL NOTICE THESE 3 SIGNS | Fr Chris Alar, MIC
Main summary
Key takeaways
Overview
Fr. Chris Alar argues that Catholic teaching about angels is routinely misunderstood. Angels are not “decorations” or harmless comforts; they are real spiritual beings—“warriors,” messengers, and guardians—assigned by God to specific people and even specific homes.
Drawing on Scripture, Church teaching (including the Catechism), and theologians—especially St. Thomas Aquinas—he claims angels can produce real effects in the physical and psychological environment of a dwelling through their intellectual power applied to material things.
Angelic Presence in a Home
He presents angelic presence as active and responsive to the household’s spiritual condition:
- When families grow in virtue, prayer, and sacramental life, angelic influence intensifies.
- When sin, division, impurity, and pride increase, angelic protection can be diminished.
In this view, ordinary practices—rosaries, Mass, sacramentals, and priestly blessings—are not merely private devotions. They help strengthen what he describes as an “angelic garrison.”
Three “Signs” of Angelic Activity
1. Unexplained and Persistent Peace
He contrasts normal calm (arising from good circumstances) with a deeper “peace of God” that can coexist with suffering.
- He notes that this peace can be noticed by visitors and family members.
- He cautions that not every feeling of peace is supernatural.
- Still, he frames this peace as attributable to God’s peace working through angelic presence.
Practical advice he offers:
- Pray the rosary regularly
- Maintain protective sacramentals (e.g., holy water, crucifixes)
- Guard the home from harmful media/influences
- Respond with gratitude and prayer
2. Children and Animals Behave Differently
He claims that children—especially around ages 2–6—and animals may respond more openly to spiritual realities than adults do.
Examples he gives include:
- Children becoming unusually still during prayer
- Animals becoming unusually calm or unusually fearful/agitated depending on spiritual conditions
He offers a cautious example:
- A consistent child habit of looking at the ceiling and smiling while saying “the pretty man.”
He does not present this as automatic proof of angelic appearances, but as something worth bringing to a priest, especially when it fits a broader pattern of holiness in the home. Adults, he suggests, may overlook effects that children perceive more directly.
Implication:
- Reduce “noise” and electronic stimulation to help children remain spiritually sensitive.
3. Evil Cannot Gain a Foothold
He defines “evil” less in terms of Hollywood-style events (objects moving, voices), and more as destructive spiritual patterns, such as:
- Chronic marital division/anger
- Children rejecting the faith
- Addictions (including pornography)
- Despair
- Repeated financial collapse
He argues that in homes with strong angelic presence, attacks may occur but:
- they don’t “stick,”
- they are repelled rather than allowed to compound,
- the family survives while staying united in faith and charity.
He contrasts this with what he calls “false peace,” where evil is not resisted because people are spiritually anesthetized by unrepented sin.
Practical guidance:
- Defend the sacramental life—especially regular confession
- Use holy water
- Pray the St. Michael prayer
- Pray the rosary
- Actively block harmful influences entering through media and relationships
A Structured “Path” for Action
To help viewers respond, he offers a structured “path” in three categories:
Sacramental
- A priest-blessed house blessing
- Holy water at entrances
- Crucifixes placed prominently
Devotional
- A daily family rosary (even if imperfect)
- A daily St. Michael prayer
- Consecration to guardian angels
- Devotion to the Holy Family and St. Joseph (especially for family protection)
Moral
- Regular confession for every adult (at least monthly; sooner for mortal sin)
- Fight impurity/pornography (with confession and spiritual direction)
- Resolve conflict rather than suppress it
- Avoid chronic bitterness/resentment that contradicts charity
Warning About Modern Spiritual Vulnerability
In a concluding warning, Fr. Alar claims the spiritual landscape for Catholic families has worsened. He asserts increased frequency and severity of:
- demonic activity
- obsession
- “infestation”
He attributes this to modern society dismantling spiritual resilience—family structure, sacraments, reverence, prayer, and moral life—while replacing them with:
- sexual chaos
- idolatry of the self
- occult/“entertainment” content
- technology that destroys silence and attention
He frames this as leaving homes spiritually vulnerable—making them easier targets for evil.
Encouragement and Next Steps
He closes with encouragement:
- Parents are not alone.
- Rosaries, confessions, blessings, crucifixes, and household prayer matter, strengthening spiritual protection and inviting “reinforcements” from the angelic realm.
He urges viewers to take concrete steps, such as:
- Use holy water
- Bless rooms
- Pray the rosary
- Pray the St. Michael prayer
- Seek confession
- Consider a house blessing
- Watch for peace, reverence, and attacks that bounce off
