Prayer to Saint Expedite (for Urgent Causes)
Saint Expedite was a Roman centurion martyred in Armenia during the Diocletianic Persecution. He is invoked by those who need quick solutions, especially in urgent matters. His cult became popular in the 18th century, particularly in France and later in Latin America.
My Saint Expedite of just and urgent causes, succor me in this hour of affliction and despair, intercede for me with Our Lord Jesus Christ.
You who are a Warrior Saint, you who are the Saint of the afflicted, you who are the Saint of the desperate, you who are the Saint of urgent causes, protect me, help me, give me strength, courage, and serenity.
Attend to my request (make your request).
Help me overcome these difficult hours, protect me from all who may harm me.
Protect my family, attend to my request with urgency.
Restore my peace and tranquility.
I will be grateful for the rest of my life and will carry your name to all who have faith.
Amen.
