To each his each own, but note that the Angel Gabriel doesn’t share your difficulties over these lines.

Et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit: Ave (Maria) gratia plena: Dominus tecum: benedicta tu in mulieribus
Luke 1:26-38.

The next part is from Luke 1:42 (Elizabeth's greeting to Mary). She repeats Gabriel's Benedicta tu in mulieribus before adding:

Et benedictus fructus ventris tui.

Macchio is evidently Italian-American. He used the Italian pronunciation of the Latin--"v" sound rather than "w" sound in ave and in ventris. In Classical Latin the "v" is believed to have sounded like "w."
