Angels are 'ministering spirits' sent forth to serve God for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation (human beings). As purely spiritual creatures, angels are immortal. They have intelligence and will. They always behold the face of God.
God loved and trusted them, but some angels became evil by radically and irrevocably rejecting God and HIS Reign. God is ever merciful. It was the irrevocable character of these fallen angels' choice that made their sin unforgivable. There was no chance of repentance for these fallen angels as they chose to sin even after beholding God face to face. Behind the sin of human beings are the fallen angels (demons). (Ref. CCC 329-331,392,393)
Prayer :
God, the great Creator of heavenly and earthly creatures, I adore you. Thank you for your love and mercy. May I use every opportunity of repentance in my day to day life. Let my life glorify YOU and your Reign.
