No, not at all.  I am saying that we needn't run immediately from every little pain.

Pain can be sanctified.

Why do some Catholics have a problem with understanding that pain is a natural reality?

They can admire some athletes who pummel their bodies, stretching their capacities, putting themselves through painful routines, growing in fortitude, patience, longsuffering for some temporal goal they may have, however noble.

But they can't understand fasting, or delay, or patiently delaying a rest toward some good.

They think they want intimacy with Jesus Christ, but they only want it when they are waving their hands or holding their hands at the guitar mass on Saturday evening.

They don't understand that they are missing a much deeper intimacy with Jesus Christ during for the other 100 or so waking hours of the week!

Offering things up through the day also serves other functions...tempers us from our appetites, serves as penance for our sins and the sins of others, etc.
