"...the duty of a priest is twofold: in the first place, to turn to God and pray for himself and for his people; in the second place, to turn from God to men by means of doctrine and the Word. Thus Samuel states in 1 Sam. 12:33: 'Far be it from me not to pray for you and not to lead you to the good and the right way.' He acknowledges that this is essential to his office."
