To use Buddhist vocabulary, each time we re-center before a medal or image of a particular saint, we water the corresponding seed or the most significant part of the saint’s life in the depths of our consciousness and enter into resonance with this aspect of ourselves.
This contact, this act of conscious watering, creates the conditions for the manifestation in our lives of these corresponding values and characteristics.
We will say, in Catholic language, that our prayer to the saint has been heard. The form differs, but the substance is the same.
Saints and angels are also facets of the divine within ourselves.

In more pagan term, you seem to describe something akin to the use of a sigil or other symbol as a focus for intent or awareness. We’ll make a magician out of you yet…!

No particular reference
Medals, images, are just symbols. They have the meaning you give them for whatever purpose you use them.
Magic, in pagan terms, is basically focussed will, intent. That can be (maybe often is) for purposes of internal development in some way, rather than trying to break the laws of physics.
It struck me that the process you describe is in that general ball park.
Hence, the rather mischievous attempt to trigger you by calling you a budding magician, in effect.

Oh I didn’t know the word ‘sigil’ and I figured out it was some kind of reference to Greek mythology.
How ignorant of me.

Sorry, it did not occur to me that it is a term that is not commonly used outside of the pagan type world!
