Just thought I'd share this... I'm listening to it, and I'm really beginning to enjoy the sound of traditional Catholic hymns and choirs, and such. But don't get me wrong... contemporary worship is still awesome.
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum, benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among all women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb - Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I almost cried listening to this song. The combination of the prayers forms in Latin and English, and the beautiful arrangement by Rich Weidenhoefer, mixed with the sounds of the choirs' voices, was just awesome.
Pray it and mean it. Mary is so awesome, and She can bring us so much closer to Jesus Christ.

And I'd just like to say one more thing, since I'm in such a good mood:
ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA! Glory to God in the Highest, and peace to His people on Earth! Gloria in excelcis Deo!
PAX CRISTI,
Shane
