St. Expedite Oil Recipe

Saint Expedite Oil is blended with powerful herbs and oils such as Frankincense, Myrrh, Vanilla, Patchouli, Cinnamon, Ginger and a few other potent herbs and oils.

Idea: How to Petition St. Expedite

To petition St. Expedite, get a red candle and anoint it with Saint Expedite Oil. You may also print out a picture of him, anoint it with some oil and place it on your altar. You will also want to place some pound cake, fresh flowers (red is ideal) and red wine on your altar. You can also write out your petition on a piece of brown paper bag or vellum.

Anoint the paper with the Saint Expedite Oil and then fold the paper in half making sure you fold it towards you. Place your petition under the candle. Just make sure you have put your candle in an appropriate candle holder! When you are ready, light the candle and say a prayer to Saint Expedite asking him for his intervention on your behalf.

You may also choose to dab a bit of oil on your body, put some in the bath or anoint some on your important documents such as bank statements or bills. You may also anoint some on a cotton ball and carry it in your purse or wallet.

Another popular technique is to wash you doors down with some oil or place a bit of oil in a bowl with fresh red flowers and a touch of water and then place it by your front door.

Cursing Requests

I have also petitioned St expedite for cursing requests. For example,…. If somebody is about to hurt you or causing you harm, it makes sense to petition the Saint to ask for a quick reprieve from the oncoming hurtful situation.

it’s all about how you word your petition. Ask for Saint expedite to do whatever he believes is just to make sure you don’t come into any harm, and if that means, taking out your enemy, then so be it. Trust the saints will only do what he wants to do and nothing more and nothing less.

Prayers to Saint Expedite

For quick action…

As you say this prayer, light a glass-encased Saint Expedite candle (with the saint’s picture on it) next to a glass of water. Recite the prayer once a day for as long as the candle burns (usually several days) and when your request is granted, pour the water from the water glass into the empty glass container that held the candle. Place some fresh cut flowers in the candle glass, use it like a vase. You may also offer a slice of pound cake. Then publish the prayer thanking Saint Expedite, to spread his fame.
