As humans, it is impossible to avoid harm all through our lives. No human fully knows what could happen the next second hence, we might not be able to foretell that something harmful around us is about to happen. Although, predictions are often made by experts in different fields for instance, Scientists predicting that a rock from space is going to collide with the earth or a doctor predicting when a pregnant woman would be due to give birth or when a cancer patient would die or even a meteorologist (weather expert) predicting when a hurricane, tornado or storm would occur.

All these are done by experts and are oftentimes, true. However, not always. Sometimes, staying out of harm’s way is beyond our control. Accidents, thefts, kidnaps, killings are often beyond our contact. Hence, it is only God who can save us when no man can (Bible verse). This is why prayer is the key to us being saved anytime.

St. Expedite is the Patron Saint of Urgent matters. He is also the Patron Saint of Procrastination. He was a Roman soldier who decided to convert to Christianity. Despite the temptation of the Devil for him to postpone his conversion to the next day, Expedite firmly insisted that he was going to be converted on that very day. And he did! People call for his intercession in urgent situations like near-death situations, financial difficulties, employees issues, pregnancy labour and a lot of miracles have happened.
Say this prayer:
“St. Expedite you are a role model. You sacrificed your life for Christ, the persecutions did not stop the continuous flow of your prayers nor did they weaken your faith in our Lord. You adored God faithfully. Please intercede on my behalf to the Lord our God, that my prayer rises to meet you and you hear my plea.
