يا ايها الذين امنوا اذا قمتم الى الصلاه فاغسلوا وجوهكم و ايديكم الى المرافق وامسحوا برؤسكم وارجلكم الى الكعبين.... Maide suresi 6. Ayeti kerime

Ey iman edenler namaza kalkacağınız zaman yüzünüzü yıkayın elinizi dirseklerle beraber yıkayın başınızı mesh edin ayaklarınızı topuklarla beraber yıkayın...

hak etmedim, biliyorum. üzgün ve kırgın hissediyorum. çok güzel ve tatlı başlamışken bir anda aşağı düşmek beni çok üzüyor ne oldu nasıl oldu hiç bilmiyorum sadece kalbim kırık ve ağlamak istiyorum.

[catholic-saint-tournament]

Here in extremely Catholic New Orleans, we specifically worship two holy figures: the Venerable Henriette Delille (the first U.S. native-born African American whose cause for canonization has been officially opened by the Catholic Church; born a free woman of color here), and Our Lady of Prompt Succor (a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary enshrined here in New Orleans). I nominate them both for the appropriate categories!

NOLA, where you can get a psychic reading across from the church and then drown your sorrows in seafood and alcohol!

(Also remember Catholics don't worship saints or Mary, we just venerate/look up to them!)

BUT after those disclaimers I am happy to add both Ven Henriette and Our Lady of Prompt Succor to their respective lists!!!!
