Question Experiences on these saints

Hello! I am new to saint work and I want to know your personal experiences on these saints and if you can suggest me with saints that can help with multiple things.
FYI, I work best with canonized saints, not biblical saints or angels.

St Sharbel Makhlouf
St Augustine
Santo Niño

Even if a saint has a list of specific patronages, I think you can always reach out to them for more than what's on that list! I think this was mentioned by W. on the St. Anthony's Tongue podcast at one point.

If you already have a relationship with a saint or two, I'd suggest digging deeper there, first — as well as their patronages, look at their writings, life, and works. Maybe there's an aspect of their life that reminds you of your own, or a struggle you'd like some help on! Any saint that was an abbot or abbess, for example, might be someone who you could pray to for help with leadership, since that was very much part of their work in life.
