Ave Maria
"I grew up praying the Rosary aloud with my family every evening during particular liturgical seasons as well as during the Marian months of May and October. My parents' strong devotion to Mary inspired this setting of the Ave Maria (Hail Mary) which I composed as a gift honoring my parents' 50th wedding anniversary." -Joan Szymko
Ave Maria, gratia plena:
Dominus tecum, benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus frusctus ventris tui, Jesu.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae,
Amen.
