Doesn’t sound like the convent I am familiar with. There is a beautiful seminary and monastery close by with a beautiful pathway — quite an uphill trek.

Station 8 - Jesus Speaks to the Daughters of Jerusalem

V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.

Consider that those women wept with compassion at seeing Jesus in so pitiable a state, streaming with blood, as He walked along. But Jesus said to them, "Weep not for Me but for your children."

My Jesus, laden with sorrows, I weep for the offenses that I have committed against Thee, because of the pains which they have deserved, and still more because of the displeasure which they have caused Thee, Who hast loved me so much. It is Thy love, more than the fear of hell, which causes me to weep for my sins. My Jesus, I love Thee more than myself; I repent of having offended Thee. Never permit me to offend Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always; and then do with me what Thou wilt.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father

O Thou Mother! fount of love,
Touch my spirit from above.
Make my heart with thine accord.

Eia Mater, fons amoris,
Me sentire vim doloris
Fac, ut tecum lugeam.

Sadly... I don’t remember the name of the place. I’ve tried in years past to try to find them on the Internet, but without success. I guess I should’ve paid more attention at the time.

But the memory of those great ladies has stuck with me for decades after.
