According to St Catherine of Sienna

Slain Lamb and Lion:

St Catherina of Sienna

" I write to you in His Precious Blood with the desire to see you as a humble and gentle lamb without stain who was so humble and so gentle that He was never heard to utter a single complaint. And I want to see you as a powerful lion that roars within the Holy Church. That your voice and your virtue may be strong enough to bring back to life the children who lie dead in her bosom."
