A complex and interesting novena for St Expedite, found on St Expedite.org. St Expedite's Feast day is April 19; begin the novena on either April 11th or 12th, depending on when you want to finish.

Be sure to light a red candle for St Expedite, and if possible have some flowers present. If St Epedite delivers on your prayers, be sure to thank him; traditional offerings include pound cake and flowers, there is a Hoodoo admonition to be sure to offer him flowers or there may be dire circumstances.

The structure of this novena is relatively straightforward with little difference from day to day. Each day's prayers start with the Act of Contrition, followed by the prayer to St Expedite for the day, then three (3) Our Father's and finishing with the concluding prayer to St Expedite.  The first day differs slightly with a follow up prayer at the end to Our Lady of Sorrows. Each day in the concluding prayer, be sure to clearly communicate your desire to St Expedite.

FIRST DAY

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.


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)

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.

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.
