[TiaGing]

Thank you for this video. We were raised catholic, and when Mom died I picked this version for her funeral. Unbeknownst to me that it is the Hail Mary in Latin..shame on me !!!

[youngmindedman]

@TiaGing I didn't know this either!

Thank you, ReadMeReadYou, for your masterful video, and thank you, 19rebel57, for the sublime artwork and the request that it be set to Johnny's splendid rendition. The paintings gently emote the loving grace of the miracle, and the divineness portrayed finds its earthly voice in a Prince of Hearts. All about love.

I like to and I dare commenting on most everything I wish - but this one I think I'll pass coz I am so much 'in it' I am still trying to help myself out!!! n even if I eventually got out of it - the 'aftertaste' will still linger for a long long time before I can think of anything to say!!! Thats the magic of the Great Johnny - not to mention this time he is with the Great pictures!!! oops, have to go, time for my prayers!! n I'll pray for you all! Mike

What can anyone say, but that not only Mathis is the man of song , but the most magnificent religious paintings which are conbined with his voice are truly inspirational. This was well put together.

[ReadMeReadYou]

Well, the person who gave me the pictures really deserves the thanks for complimenting Johnny's voice with them.

Thanks so much for the nice comment.
