Angels' Eternal Choices and Our Limited Time
The priest explains that demons cannot repent or be saved because angelic decisions are eternal. Angels are bodiless spiritual beings who always stand in God's presence and see the full picture, so they have no excuse for their choices. When Lucifer fell, his decision was final because he knew everything and still rejected God.
The angels who remained loyal are loyal forever for the same reason, their choice is eternal and unchangeable. Humans differ from angels because we do not see the full picture while in this life. Our decisions become eternal only when we pass from this life. The priest urges listeners to use their time wisely in light of this reality.
