@ikhitawears.ke: Here’s the traditional novena to Saint Expedite. *What you’ll need* 1. *Red candle* – his color. Light it each day. 2. *Glass of clean water* – place it near the candle as an offering. 3. *Image of Saint Expedite* – optional, but helps focus. He’s shown as a Roman soldier with a cross saying “HODIE” and stepping on a crow saying “CRAS”. 4. *Your request* – be specific about what you need urgently. *Novena structure* *Day 1-9, same steps:* 1. *Light the red candle* and say: _“Saint Expedite, you who never delay, hear me now.”_ 2. *Say the Act of Contrition* – short version: _“O my God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to sin I have offended you, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to confess my sins, do penance, and amend my life. Amen.”_ 3. *Say the Novena Prayer*: _“Saint Expedite, glorious martyr, I call upon you for urgent help. You who know the value of time, hasten to my aid in this need [state your request]. Intercede for me before Our Lord Jesus Christ, that He may grant me this favor, if it is for my good and His greater glory. I promise to honor you by spreading your name and giving thanks for your intercession. Amen.”_ 4. *Say 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, 1 Glory Be* 5. *Close with*: _“Saint Expedite, help me now! I thank you for your powerful intercession.”_ 6. *Let the candle burn safely for at least 15 min*, or let it burn all the way down each day if possible. *After the novena* *If your request is granted:* You’re expected to thank him publicly. Traditionally people: - Leave pound cake, flowers, a glass of water, and coins at his altar or church - Share your testimony online or with others - Light another red candle as thanks *If it’s not granted by day 9:* Some people do it again immediately, or take it as a sign the request wasn’t for their good. The key is you don’t forget to thank him if it works. *Tips that people follow* - Start on a Wednesday or Friday – days associated with him - Be specific and urgent with your request - Keep your promise to thank him publicly. Folk tradition says he won’t help again if you don’t - Keep the space clean and respectful while the candle burns
