In 1924, Pope Pius XII proclaimed St. Francis de Sales the patron saint of writers and journalists (and now bloggers) since he extensively used media (flyers and books in his spiritual direction and his apologetics to convert Calvinists in the region. During his missionary work in Switzerland, Francis de Sales was able to help up to 70,000 people return to the faith. Aside from his prolific wring, St. Francis de Sales was known for his concern for writing with truth and charity. Hence, he is also considered a patron for Christian Unity"

A Prayer of St. Francis de Sales
Lord, I am yours, and I must belong to no one but you.
My soul is yours, and must live only by you.
My will is yours, and must love only for you.
I must love you as my first cause, since I am from you.
I must love you as my end and rest, since I am for you.
I must love you more than my own being, since my being subsists by you.
I must love you more than myself, since I am all yours and all in you.
AMEN.
