Do our patron saints pray for us/ watch over us in a more special way than other saints?

Mine is St. Michael the Archangel. I want to talk to him more but I feel he has too big of an assignment to swoop down and pay attention to me.

Wow! I had never thought about it that way, but surely, WE are one of their “assignments” - so, it shouldn’t be anything to be a bother to them? Well, unless we are whimpering and moaning for things that doesn’t need Divine intervention. Just my thought.

Carry on with your prayers and devotions to him. After all, sincerity, consistency and trust is what we need to build up a lasting relationship with God and His angels/messengers/saints.

I do believe that Saint Bernadette is mindful of me. I talk to her and ask for her prayers. I also rely much on Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and my Guardian Angel. They are not too busy for us. Loved your question❤.

St. Michael is outside of time, and as such has plenty of time to listen to your sincere conversations.
Don’t forget your Guardian Angel also, whose main task is to watch out for you.

I was confirmed with the name Anthony, and I think of him as my patron.

My Christian name is that of one of the 12 Apostles, but I tend to think of St Anthony as my patron.

Actually, part of St. Michael’s ministry would be to watch over you personally @DrawNearToGod - if Michael is your baptismal name. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says you are “assured of his intercession”, in that case. That would imply, to use your words, that part of St. Michael’s assignment is to pay attention to you personally.

CCC 2156 (bolds mine)

The sacrament of Baptism is conferred “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” In Baptism, the Lord’s name sanctifies man, and the Christian receives his name in the Church. This can be the name of a saint, that is, of a disciple who has lived a life of exemplary fidelity to the Lord. The patron saint provides a model of charity; we are assured of his intercession. The “baptismal name” can also express a Christian mystery or Christian virtue. "Parents, sponsors, and the pastor are to see that a name is not given which is foreign to Christian sentiment.
