St. Expeditus is the patron saint for prompt solutions, procrastination and for merchants.  Saint Expeditus was, according to legend, a Roman centurion in Armenia who became a Christian and was beheaded during the Diocletian Persecution in 303.  The most popular legend surrounding the saint says that the day when he decided to become a Christian, the devil took the form of a crow and told him to defer his conversion until the next day, but Expeditus stomped on the bird and killed it, declaring, "I'll be a Christian today!"

Expeditus' typical depiction in artwork is as a young Roman centurion.  The soldier is squashing a crow beneath his right foot.  Later depictions have Expeditus holding a cross, inscribed with the Latin word hodie ("today"). A banderole with the word cras ("tomorrow") emerges from the crow's mouth.  Although the English language tends to mimic a crow's cry as "caw caw," Italians mimic a crow's cry as "cras cras."  In Italian folktales, crows are always preoccupied with "tomorrow."

Is there a friend you may need to ask for their forgiveness?  Or how about forgiving someone?  How about telling someone that you love them?  Or calling someone you've been thinking of or haven't talked to in a while?  Don't put off until tomorrow those things that can bring you peace and love today! Remember, it's never too late to start doing what's right!
