From the sayings of ABBA SHENOUTE THE ARCHIMENIDRITE about ANGELS

 

“Brethren, to escape God’s punishment and attain mercy from Him, one must sit alone at the end of the day and search his soul and ask, ‘What have I offered my serving angel to convey to the Lord?’ Even when the night is over and day breaks, we must continue to search our souls to discover what we have offered to our guardian angel to deliver to God. We should never doubt, even for a single moment, that each of us, man or woman, young or old, who has been baptised in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, has an angel responsible for him until his death. This angel conveys and raises our deeds day and night, to God. Not because God does not know what we are doing. On the contrary, God knows every detail, as it is written, ‘God’s eyes are watching continuously, and everywhere, the evil doers and the righteous’. However angels are servants appointed by God for those who are going to inherit salvation.”
