I have been going to daily Mass lately and have been praying that Jesus will draw me closer to him in the Eucharist. I want to love the Eucharist even more than I currently do and pray every day that I will begin to love Jesus in the Eucharist more than anything in the world.
I would like the name of a saint who was particularly devoted to the Eucharist so that I can ask for their intercession as well. I do ask for help from the Blessed Virgin Mary.
 
Well, not a saint yet, but Archbishop Fulton Sheen had a great love for the Eucharists and prayed that the day he died, it would be in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, and so it happened.

You could ask for his prayers, especially where there is a group in the process of looking to have him canonized.

I think every Saint had a devotion to Our Lady and the Eucharist.
 
St Francis
“Sons of men, how long with a heavy heart?” (Ps 4:3) · Why is it that do you not know the truth and believe “in the Son of God?” (cf. Jn 9:35) Behold, every day He humbles Himself (cf. Phil 2:8), just as when “from royal thrones” (Wis 18:15) He came into the womb of the Virgin; every day He comes to us Himself humbly appearing; everyday He descends from the bosom of the Father upon the altar in the hands of the priest. And just as to the holy Apostles in true flesh, so even now He shows Himself to us in the Sacred Bread. And just as when they gazed at His very own flesh they saw only His flesh, but contemplating with spiritual eyes believed Him to be God, so we too seeing bread and wine with bodily eyes, are to see and firmly believe, that they are His Most Holy Body and Blood, living and true. And in such a manner the Lord is always with His faithful, just as He Himself says: “Behold I am with you even to the consummation of the age” (cf. Mt 28:20)

The Spanish St. Paschal Baylon had a notable devotion for the Holy Eucharist, and is the patron saint of Eucharistic congresses and Eucharistic associations. St. Thomas Aquinas teaches beautifully about the Holy Eucharist in his Summa Theologica, as well as composed several Eucharistic hymns like Lauda Sion, O salutaris Hostia and Pange Lingua Gloriosi. The 19th century and early 20th century St. Gemma Galgani is the patron saint of First Communion.
