§ 4. On The Obligation Of Praying For The People

¶2273.
    • The Pastor, not only secular, but also regular, is held by force of divine law TO PRAY and to apply the SACRIFICE OF THE MASS for the people. - This is established from these words of the Apostle (Heb. 5:1): "For every Pontiff is constituted for men in those things which are toward God, that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins."14

Recall what was said in the Treatise on the Eucharist n. 1604 and following.
