Saint Expedite — The Saint Who Brings Fast Miracles When Time Is Short
When time is running out and no one else is answering, one saint moves faster than the rest.
Saint Expedite doesn’t delay. He doesn’t wait for approval. He acts.
From court cases to overdue payments, from travel delays to urgent opportunities, Saint Expedite is the go-to spirit for fast, direct, and miraculous intervention. Venerated in New Orleans, Haiti, Brazil, and the Philippines, his legend is simple: Ask clearly. Move quickly. Pay your respect.
Who Is Saint Expedite?
Saint Expedite is believed to have been a Roman soldier who converted to Christianity and was martyred for his faith. According to legend, when he decided to convert, a demon in the form of a crow appeared and cawed “Cras” (“Tomorrow”). Expedite stomped on it and declared “Hodie” (“Today”), claiming his path immediately.
This myth explains his spiritual role: the banisher of procrastination, the accelerator of blessings, the enforcer of urgency.
