Patron Saint for 2010

I have just become aware of a blog that promotes having a patron saint for the year. This practice is mentioned in St. Faustina's diary as something that the sisters in her order did every year. Marianne, from the Patron Saint blog, insists that, although she is the "middle man," so to speak, it is actually the saint that chooses us. She has received feedback about the spiritual growth and experiences associated with this devotion and is convinced that the saint chooses us for a particular reason(s). Here is an excerpt from her blog:

"I truly believe that I am only a go-between between the two of you and that it is really the saint "choosing" you! Why? So many people that I have assisted have emailed me again and again telling me of the connections, intercessions and even miracles that have occurred due to their spiritual guides! I have been overwhelmed and awed by all of this and am humbled and honored to have taken on this task. I always suggest that you take some time to research your saints so you get to know them better and then you will be able to recognize the connections and intercessions that you and your saint will share."
