- “My Way of Life“, a great summary of St. Thomas’s Summa by Walter Farrell O.P S.T.M. and Martin J. Healy S.T.D. (1952, with Imprimatur) says:
- “The consequences of this single moment of trial of the angels are staggering. There is no such thing as a second chance for an angel, no period of contrition and penance. Their freedom from ignorance and passion, their instantaneous grasp of truth removes all possibility of a change of will for them. They love or hate at once and beyond recall; as fixed by that instant as we are by death.”
