Paying St. Expedite??

Postby hiighpriestess » Fri Oct 30, 2009 8:04 am

I was due an important piece of work yesterday, and although I had sat down at the computer to get it done for hours, I kept getting distracted and couldn't get focused- I know this sounds very ironic, but although I kept procrastinating, but I really wanted to get the work done.

So, I petitioned St. Expedite (since I read that he is the patron saint of procrastination) to help me to be able to concentrate on my work, and stop being distracted, in order for me to finish it successfully, but I just COULDN'T focus. I did manage to do most of it- but only after I stayed up the entire night. I finished it today, but it was pretty lackluster..

I understand that it's purely my own fault since I'm the one who let myself be distracted, but I'm wondering- should I still make offerings to St. Expedite, even though I did not manage to finish my work in time?

I mean, technically, I suppose I didn't specify when I wanted it done by- I did get it done eventually, though, but isn't St. Expedite supposed to be called upon for urgent "quick-fixes"?
But I did ask for focus and to not be distracted so as to allow me to work more efficiently, though..

What do you guys think? Do let me know what you think soon, because I don't want to be late with offerings (if any) in case he takes anything back!

Thanks, and happy hoodooing! :D

I buy him red roses, but I believe he also likes pound cake! xxx

I have yet to work with St. Expedite, but I think it would be a bad idea to not make the appropriate payment. After that, you could try to determine the root of what held back your progress in this matter.
If you're a perfectionist -- like me -- you may find that a lot of times you are simply getting in your own way. If that's the case you could try working to let go of the bad habits that cause you hold yourself back. I just ordered some Road Opener products and am looking forward to working with them for issues similar to yours.

Yes, I would say he deserves and offering. Flowers, pound cake and a glass of water.

Thanks, everyone :)

I burnt a tealight candle for him in addition to a slice of pound cake and a tumbler of water- I take it that it's fine to not give him flowers?

Saint Expedite Pound Cake Offering

Postby wollf » Sat Jan 23, 2010 9:19 am

Hello I was just wondering if someone could help me. When offering to Saint Expedite you should offer pound cake. I live in the U.K. and I can't find any pound cake here, is there something I could use instead or does anyone know what pound cake is called in the U.K.

Thanks.

If you don't have pound cake there, just google "pound cake recipe" and bake your own. It will mean more than way anyway!
Thank you St. Expedite for getting my husband surgery so quickly!!!

Oh okay thanks. I'm not very good at cooking, but I guess I'll give it a go.

There is very likely a UK equivalent-- pound cake is just a pound of butter, pound of flour, pound of sugar... (and other ingredients)... it's a very buttery, rich yellow cake, and plain.
