The term ‘mystical body’ is a curious one, curious, that is, in. the sense That very few ordinary Catholics make very much of it as an important Element in their lives. They are members of it, they know the name, But thinking of it as something real in the sense that our Lord or our Lady are real to them is very rare; this is Partly due, I think, to the debasernent of the word ‘mystical', and partly due to historical circumstances. For so long it has been fashionable to think of Christianity as an affair of regulating our own spiritual lives that we have hardly given The idea of the community of Christians a thought. Now that ‘mystical Body’ is a term heard on all sides, there is a consciousness that it is Somehow important, but little idea how it is to be integrated into our daily lives.
