| Summary: | This essay draws on the formative stories of suffering in the Latter-day Saint faith community to affirm that suffering is an invitation to discern the revelation of sacred presence. The meaningfulness of suffering presupposes a narrative context that permits the quest for God to be accompanied by the questioning of God. The narrative ordeal of suffering transforms passion into compassion and outrage into an experience for good. In the midst of suffering, Latter-day Saints are thus called to an ethic of emulation. |
