Urgent Help • Fast Results • Money • Success • Justice • Open Roads

How to Use

1. Write Your Petition
Write your full name on a small piece of paper. Beneath it, clearly state what you need and when you need it.

Saint Expedite petitions are traditionally direct and specific.

For example:

“Saint Expedite, please intercede for me that I receive the $___ needed to satisfy this obligation by ___.”

Or:

“Saint Expedite, open the road for me to secure the right employment opportunity quickly and successfully.”

2. Place Your Petition
Place your petition safely beneath or beside your candle.

If you practice within a tradition that gives particular offerings or follows established devotional customs for Saint Expedite, follow the teachings of that tradition.

3. Light & Pray
Light the candle and clearly speak your request. Explain the urgency of your situation and ask Saint Expedite to intercede on your behalf.

4. Pray Daily
Return to the candle each day and repeat your petition. Keep your request focused rather than constantly changing what you are asking for.

5. Take Immediate Action
Saint Expedite is associated not only with speedy assistance but also with acting without procrastination.

If you are praying for employment, apply for jobs.
If you are praying for customers, promote your business.
If you need a decision, make the necessary call.
If paperwork must be submitted, submit it.

Ask for the road to open—and be prepared to move when it does.

Prayer to Saint Expedite

Saint Expedite, make haste to help me.
Saint Expedite, let there be no unnecessary delay.”

Affirmation

“I act with purpose and without unnecessary delay. The right opportunities open before me, obstacles move, and I am prepared to act when my road opens.”

A Note on Giving Thanks

In popular devotion, many devotees make a personal promise of thanksgiving when petitioning Saint Expedite and fulfill that promise after receiving the requested assistance. Customs differ between communities and traditions, so follow the devotional practices you have been taught rather than feeling obligated to imitate unfamiliar practices.

Candle Safety

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, drafts, curtains, petitions, photographs, and other flammable materials. Always burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Keep the wick properly trimmed and discontinue use if the glass becomes cracked or damaged.
