The Way of the Cross
Krossvegarandaktin er ein hugleiðing á líðing Jesu. Sum hjálp hertil hava vit í kirkjuni 14 myndir, ið vísa pínslargongd Jesu líka frá dómhúsi Pilatussar til deyðan á Golgata og gravleggingina. Henda hugleiðandi bøn kann vera biðin, meðan ein gongur frá einari mynd til aðra, sum um vit fylgdu Harranum á tyngstu leið hansara.

CHRIST IS RISEN!
Lastly he showed himself to the Eleven themselves while they were at table.
He reproached them for their incredulity and obstinacy, because they had refused to believe those who had seen him after he was risen.
And he said to them, “Go out to the whole world;
proclaim the Good News to all creation!”
(Mark 16: 14-16)
