As a child I loved you

As a child I loved you is a Roman Catholic Marian prayer. It was composed by Pope Leo XIII in the 19th century.

As a little child,

I loved you like a mother.

Now that I am old,

my love for you has grown.

Receive me in heaven

as one of the blessed,

and I will proclaim

that I have obtained

such a great prize

through your patronage.

Amen.
