Angel of intolerance

In my youth I was tormented for quite a long time by the question: why are angels needed? Seriously! There is the Incarnate God, in the image of which man was created. There are saints who have reached the state of deification, people so imbued with God that here on earth they shine with the uncreated light of Divinity. The Lord reveals His secrets to the elects, and He can manage and does without any intermediaries. Why then do we need some additional office creations, built into some kind of elaborate neo-Platonic hierarchy?
Archangel Michael is only a few times commemorated in Holy Scripture, and each time these are scenes of struggle and confrontation.
No one has a desire to call the angels of the Apocalypse angels. They are formidable warriors who, without hesitation, pour the bowls of anger onto the land contaminated by sin. They bring suffering - just like that! And this is one of the many angelic ministries. They have a very hard job! The Lord calls the angels the reapers, who will be the first in whose hands we will fall after death:
Angels are the embodiment of intolerance, and by this they are dear to us, and therefore we need them so much!
Archangel Michael and the whole angelic cathedral are the servants of truth, therefore the world of disembodied spirits is forever split into two irreconcilable camps — servants of truth and henchmen of lies. And I think this is the most important thing we need to know about angels.
We are openly outrageous little about the life of the angelic world. Even the word “angel” speaks only of function, ministry - “messenger”, “herald”, “postman”. But the fact that they are servants of truth and justice, incredibly supports and encourages.
- Why do we need to focus on this ministry? Why loyalty to the truth - by the way, something very abstract! - is it so important?
- Important! And right now, when every person is just choking in the oceans of lies and dirty manipulations, the help of angels is especially relevant.
It is no coincidence that during the singing of the Cherubic song, when we commemorate angels at the liturgy, the priest in prayer asks to purify his heart from the evil conscience, because every adult knows too well - yes, his conscience may be insane, it is such a coward. And we are not at all on the side of lies, we simply adapt, try to be tolerant, tolerant, and get used to it so that over time even the most blatant lie and savage injustice are ready to defend and justify.
If you want to know what an angel looks like, don’t look at the Baroque portraits - even the angel is ashamed of them! The face of an angel is the face of a teenager, outraged by a lie
Maybe teenagers are really fools and maximalists, but this amazing sensitivity to truth is the property of adolescence, and happiness, if a person does not lose this gift over the years. 
Do we need angels? Why call them in prayers? I have nothing to ask them. But I really need their help to not stumble, not to get carried away with lies and cowardice, because if the strong and the strong fall, what can we rely on?
