Canon 835. §1 The sanctifying office is exercised principally by Bishops, who are the high priests, the principal dispensers of the mysteries of God and the moderators, promoters and guardians of the entire liturgical life in the Churches entrusted to their care.

§2 This office is also exercised by priests. They, too, share in the priesthood of Christ and, as his ministers under the authority of the Bishop, are consecrated to celebrate divine worship and to sanctify the people.

§3 Deacons have a share in the celebration of divine worship in accordance with the provisions of law.

§4 The other members of Christ’s faithful have their own part in this sanctifying office, each in his or her own way actively sharing in liturgical celebrations, particlarly in the Eucharist. Parents have a special share in this office when they live their married lives in a christian spirit and provide for the christian education of their children.

§1. Munus sanctificandi exercent imprimis Episcopi, qui sunt magni sacerdotes, mysteriorum Dei praecipui dispensatores atque totius vitae liturgicae in Ecclesia sibi commissa moderatores, promotores atque custodes.

§2. Illud quoque exercent presbyteri, qui nempe, et ipsi Christi sacerdotii participes, ut eius ministri sub Episcopi auctoritate, ad cultum divinum celebrandum et populum sanctificandum consecrantur.

§3. Diaconi in divino cultu celebrando partem habent, ad normam iuris praescriptorum.

§4. In munere sanctificandi propriam sibi partem habent ceteri quoque christifideles actuose liturgicas celebrationes, eucharisticam praesertim, suo modo participando; peculiari modo idem munus participant parentes vitam coniugalem spiritu christiano ducendo et educationem christianam filiorum procurando.
