Summary/Abstract: The Triune God becomes the sense of the man, while the Church appears as a historical extension of the redemptive act of Christ. The perspective of the Church as the Mystical Body has been shown by Emile Mersch in the key of Jesus Christ. Ecclesiology properly understood is justified in christology. The life and activity of the Church must be conformed to life and work of Jesus Christ. The article presents the above questions in four thematic blocks: 1. Identity of the Church in Jesus Christ; 2. Ecclesiology read in the key of christology; 3. Visible and spiritual order of the Mystical Body; 4. Mystical Body as the place of man's deification.
