Abstract
The article tries to solve two questions: 1. What is the Church to the mystics for? and 2.
What are the mystics to the Church for? The answer to the first question emphasize, that mystic needs the Church, because his experience make part of sacramental economy of the life of the Church, he himself needs God?s mercy as all sinners, the criterion of his authenticity is the active love and his symbolical language is rooted on the analogical language of the theology. The second answer show the fact, that the mystics are extraordinary live limbs of the Body ofChrist with an anamnetic role in the Church, which is the place and sacramental instrumet of authentic mystical experience.
It would be absurd to say not only: ?mysticism yes, Church not?, but also: ?Church yes, mysticism not?. It is right to say: ?mysticism yes, but in the Church? and ?Church yes, but also with the mysticism?.
