Prayers to Saint
Expedite
Introduction
Here are some prayers
that we have collected
over the years, you can
use any of these, or
you can just wing It which is
probably the best way. Just call
out to Saint Expedite, to get his
attention, and ask for what you
need. Be sure to offer something
in return for his efforts. Most
importantly make sure you live up
to your end of the bargain, with
no regrets or complaints (there is
nothing worse than a sore
winner). If things did not go as
anticipated than either you did
not make yourself clear or you did
not think your needs through. You
cant expect Saint Expedite to
tailor everything to wishes he had
no knowledge of. Always offer him
a reward for helping you.
For a financial
crisis...
Here is a prayer for your
money emergency. The
traditional way to petition
Saint Expedite is to take
a white and a green
candle; carve your name on them
lengthwise. Light the candles and
continue lighting the candles and
praying to him until you receive
his answer. Have faith and do not
doubt his power or willingness to
help you.
Pray to Saint Expedite
I call forth the Power and the
presence of St. Expedite in my
time of financial trouble. I offer

Three Short Prayers to
Saint Expedite
May the intercession of the
glorious Martyr, St. Expedite,
recommend us, O my God, to Thy
goodness, in order that his
protection may obtain for us what
our own merits are powerless to
do.
Amen
We supplicate Thee Lord, to
inspire, by Thy grace all our
thoughts and actions. That thou
being their principle, we may by
the intercession of St. Expedite,
be conducted with courage,
fidelity and promptitude, at the
time proper and favorable, and
come to a good and happy end.
Through our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Amen
St. Expedite honored by the
gratitude of those who have
invoked thee at the last hour and
for pressing cases. We pray thee
to obtain from the all-powerful
goodness of God, by the
intercession of Mary Immaculate,
today, or such a day the grace we
solicit with all submission to the
Divine Will.
Amen
Novena to St.
Expeditus
Use in Urgent Cases
If it is possible, recite this
Novena before the Most
Blessed Sacrament.
Saint Expeditus suffered a lot
during the time of Diocletion. He
is holding a cross in which is
inscribed "Hodie" (Today) while he
is stepping on a crow which is
crying "Cras" (Tomorrow) in order
to remind us not to doubt even for
a single moment the great mercy
of God, and not to postpone for
tomorrow the devout and trusting
prayer but to call on him always
as our advocate by the side of our
Blessed Virgin.
Act of Contrition
My LORD Jesus Christ, Father of
endless charity, I am heartily
sorry for my sins. Grant me,
therefore, pardon of my sins and
the grace I ask of You thru the
merits of the sorrows of Your
loving Mother and the virtues of
Your martyr, Saint Expeditus.
Prayer to Saint Expeditus for Each
Day
Concluding Prayer:
Oh Saint Expeditus, my protector,
in you I place my hope that my
petitions may be granted if they
are for my own good. Please ask
Our Lord, through the intercession
of the Blessed Virgin, for the
forgiveness of my sins, and the
grace to change my life,
particularly the grace ... (mention
here the particular grace desired)
and I promise to follow your
examples and will propagate this
devotion to you.
FIRST DAY
O Glorious Martyr, Saint
Expeditus, through the lively faith
which was granted you by God, I
ask you to awaken the same faith
in my heart, that I may also
believe wholeheartedly that there
is God, but most particularly that I
may be saved from sinning
against Him.
Three Our Fathers in honour of the
Most Holy Trinity then the
concluding prayer.
Concluding Prayer for Each Day
Remember O most gracious Virgin
Mary, that never was it known
that any one who fled to thy
protection, implored thy help, and
sought thine intercession was left
unaided. Inspired with this
confidence, I fly unto thee, O
Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To
thee I come; before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of

the Word Incarnate, despise not
my words but graciously hear and
grant my prayer. Amen.
One Hail Mary in honour of Our
Lady of Sorrows.
SECOND DAY
My Lord Jesus Christ ...
O Glorious Martyr, Saint Expedius,
through the eviable hope given
you by God, pray that those of
little belief may be penetrated by
some rays of hope so that they
also receive eternal things; please
pray that ardent hope in God be
also given me and hold me
steadfast in the midst of
sufferings.
Three Our Fathers then the
concluding prayer.
THIRD DAY
Expeditus, through the endless
love which Our Lord planted in
your heart, please remove from
mine all the shackles tied by
worldliness, that without them I
may love only God in all eternity.
Amen.
concluding prayer.
FOURTH DAY
Expeditus, who knew fully well the
teaching of the Divine Teacher to
carry the cross and follow Him,
ask Him for the graces I need that
I may fight my own passions.
concluding prayer.
FIFTH DAY
Expeditus, through the bountiful
graces you received from Heaven
that you may conserve all your
virtues, grant also that I may get
rid of all the feelings that block
my way to Heaven.
concluding prayer.
SIXTH DAY
Expeditus, through the sufferings
and humiliations which you
received for the love of God, grant
me also this grace which is very
pleasing to God, and free me from
anger and hardness of heart

which is the stumbling block of
my soul.
concluding prayer.
SEVENTH DAY
Expeditus, you know that prayer
is the golden key that will open
the Kingdom of Heaven, teach me
to pray in a manner which is
desirable to Our Lord and to His
Heart, that I may live only for
Him, that I may die only for Him,
and that I may pray only to Him in
all eternity.
concluding prayer.
EIGHTH DAY
Expeditus, through the clean
desire that reigned in all your
feelings, word and actions, please
let them guide me also in my
endless search for the glory of
God and the good of my
fellowmen.
concluding prayer.
NINTH DAY
Expeditus, who was so much
loved by the Queen of Heaven,
that to you nothing was denied,
ask her, please my advocate, that
through the sufferings of her
Divine Son and her own sorrows, I
may receive this day the grace I
ask of you; but above all the
grace to die first before I commit
any mortal sin. Amen.
concluding prayer.
A PRAYER TO
ALL THE SAINTS
Today, dear friends in heaven,
we celebrate your feast.
We celebrate again the feasts of
all the saints we know,
and whom we honor day by day
through the year.
But we also honor today all the
saints in heaven
whom we do not know. We can
not help thinking, on this day,

that no one of us lacks a model to
follow in one of you.
We look around us at the familiar
persons and things
and activities that fill our every
day lives,
and we find that they are little
different from the persons,
things, and activities that filled
your lives.
We have the same human nature,
wounded by the sin of Adam and
Eve,
but strengthened marvelously by
grace,
and fed and sanctified by the
sacraments and prayer.
We have exactly the same
sacraments that you had,
we have the same Christ,
the same Blessed Mother,
the same trials,
sickness, pain, temptation,
the same joys, pleasures,
and happiness that crowded your
lives.
Then it must be true that,
with the same means,
we should be able to work out our
lives
in the same holiness and sanctity
as yours, dear saints.
Help us to do this.
Help us to see the opportunities
for holiness
that fill our everyday lives.
Obtain for us, by your prayers,
the deep understanding and
appreciation
of spiritual things that were
yours.
Help us to see, too,
in the beauty of the world in
which we live,
some slight mirroring of the
eternal beauty
which you now see,
as you gaze on God.
But let us not be deceived into
thinking that this earthly beauty,
this worldly pleasure,
is an end in itself.
Let us use it wisely and
moderately,
our hearts always yearning to
come at last
to the final beauty and joy,
the possession of God Himself,
with you, in heaven.
Amen.
