"Ava Maria" Our Lady of Perpetual Help by Justin Stroh - a Video

This music video is by far not the worst way to spend five minutes, six seconds:

" 'Ave Maria' Our Lady of Perpetual Help by Justin Stroh"

video, 5:06

"justinstroh — August 21, 2008 — "Ave Maria" Mary is your mother too, jump into her arms!..."

The video is embedded in Justin Stroh's website, too (" 'Ava Maria' Our Lady of Perpetual Help by Justin Stroh")

The lyrics are a trifle repetitious. But I'm a Catholic, and I'm used to reiterative prayers. And "Holy Mary, pray for us / that we may be made worthy / of the promises of Christ" merits, in my opinion, iteration.

Look at it this way: how often has any of us gotten something right, spot-on, no error, the first time? Or second?
