Instead, I shouldn't bother God because He's too busy, but rather I should pray to the patron saint of traffic?

LOL!!! Is there a patron saint of money??? How about chilli dogs??? I did a check and (at this moment) there are 5150 saints (not including the patron saints of football-the New Orleans Saints). You can pray to bee keepers, horseshoe makers, hunters, and pork butchers. There are saints for those who are afraid of wasps, rats, mad dogs, and the night. You can pray to the saints of oversleeping (if you want), desperate causes, cooking (something I need) and computer users (??? Saint Bill Gates???). Here's the list for those who would like to extend their roledex PATRON SAINTS INDEX

And I guess there is a patron saint of financial causes-Infant Jesus of Prague (sigh).

Thanks for posting the Patron Saint Index. Some of the more interesting ones I found were St. Ivo of Kermartin (Patron Saint of lawyers), St. Apronian (Executioners), St. Fiacre (venereal diseases), and St. Cadoc of Llancarvan (menstrual cramps). And St. Cadoc was a DUDE! :) I can't quite figure that one out. But anyway, it is very interesting to leaf through.
