I looked around on the conference website, but didn't find any liturgical texts.

If we truly look upon sufferings as a share in the cross of Jesus, then we should embrace them even as Jesus embraced His cross. I still have a hard time with that; I still shrink from trials but I do accept them even while shrinking. I know that some of our saints have asked the Lord to give them sufferings. I am definitely there yet. I don't know that I ever will be. If I remember correctly, our friend St. Gemma was one of those extraordinarily ascetic saints who did ask for sufferings. I think that a noble request. But I also wonder if it could become a masochistic trait. It is definitely is not for the fainthearted and I am definitely one of them!Judy Kallmeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815139430750938384noreply@blogger.com
