    About Saint Expeditus

    Facts:
    Feast day: April 19
    - Patron of emergencies, expeditious solutions, against procrastination, merchants, navigators, programmers, and hacker revolutionaries
    Death: 303

    At one time there was much talk of a Saint Expeditus, and some good people were led to believe that, when there was need of haste, petitioning Saint Expeditus was likely to meet with prompt settlement. However, there is no adequate reason to think that any such saint was ever invoked in the early Christian centuries; in fact it is more than doubtful whether the saint ever existed. In the "Hieronymianum" the name Expeditus occurs among a group of martyrs both on the 18th and 19th of April, being assigned in the one case to Rome, and in the other to Melitene in Armenia; but there is no vestige of any tradition which would corroborate either mention, whereas there is much to suggest that in both lists the introduction of the name is merely a copyist's blunder. Hundreds of similar blunders have been quite definitely proven to exist in the same document.

    There is also a story which intends to explain the origin of this "devotion" by an incident of modern date. A packing case, we are told, containing a body of a saint from the catacombs, was sent to a community of nuns in Paris. The date of its dispatch was indicated by the use of the word "spedito", but the recipients mistook this for the name of the martyr and set to work with great energy to propagate his cult. From these simple beginnings, it is asserted, a devotion to St. Expeditus spread rapidly through many Catholic countries. It should be pointed out that although the recognition of St. Expeditus as the patron of dispatch depends beyond doubt upon a play upon words - still the particular story about the Paris never falls to pieces, because as far back as 1781 this supposed martyr, St. Expeditus, was chosen patron of the town of Acireale in Sicily, and because pictures of him were in existence in Germany in the eighteenth century which plainly depicted him as a saint to be invoked against procrastination.

    THE NOVENA PRAYER:
    (To be said for nine consecutive days)

    O God, may the intercession of St Expeditus recommend us to His Divine Goodness so that through his help we may obtain that which our greatest merits cannot. We ask You, Lord, to guide with Your grace all our thoughts, words and deeds so that, with courage, fidelity and punctuality, we can at the right time fulfill all our commitments and reach a happy conclusion of our plans.

    Through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

    O St Expeditus! Encouraged by knowing that you promptly attended to all who invoked you at the last minute to help resolve urgent matters, we ask that you obtain for us the merciful goodness of God, through the intercession of Immaculate Mary: the grace of …………. (now or at the proper time), which with entire submission we ask of the divine will.

    Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory be…
