Does one use the definite article when addressing God thusly -- "Pè Selès" v. "Pè Selès la" ?

Re: Pè Selès,

It is not necessary to use the definite article when addressing God in a prayer in Haitian Creole.
Pè Selès (from French: Père Céleste) → Celestial Father (literally) Pè Selès la → The Celestial Father (literally)
But, I suspect that if someone uttered "Pè Selès la" in front of a congregation while he's praying, it may be because he's certifying in front of everyone that he's praying to "The God of Heavens"

To face off → kare(v.), twoke kòn

Youn kare kont lòt, epi batay la te koumanse.


It's a face-off.
Se yon goumen. (It's a fight)
Se yon konfrontasyon. (It's a confrontation)
