The term is used in contrast to the natural body of Christ and the Eucharist as one of the seven sacraments, and is a spiritual community of Christ Jesus as its head and of all believers who participate in it by faith and baptism. It is sometimes identified with the Church. People are said to be organically connected to this mystical body, to share in the life of Christ, and to receive its merits in order to be saved.

キリストの自然のからだ,および7秘跡の一つとしてのキリストの聖体に対していわれるもので,キリスト・イエスをかしらとし,信仰と洗礼によってこれに参与するすべての信者から成るとされる霊的共同体。教会と同一視されることもある。人はこの神秘体に有機的に連なり,キリストの生命にあずかり,その功徳を受けて救われるとされる。
