I am going to go with a dark horse. How about Henry Suso, 14th century German mystic?
Part of the reason I like him is that of all of the great mystics of the church, I could relate to him the most.
Though he followed through with the path God laid out for him, he spent most of the time in his autobiography, "Life of the Servant," probably one of the first European autobiographies, complaining about how hard it was.
He kept saying, I knew it was going to be hard, but not this hard. Part of what makes this book so honest compared to other lives of the saints is that he never planned for it to be written or published at all.
Essentially, the words in this book were spoken to a nun who pestered him to tell her of his life as a means to spiritual growth. He agreed with the caveat that she would destroy the manuscript and never show it to anyone, a promise which, as a woman, she felt under no obligation to keep, though it worked out for the rest of us.
He started out as a self mortifier, until he was instructed by God to quit it, and then God sent him on a quest in which he feared for his life often and was the object of endless slander and false accusation which, to his surprise, hurt worse than physical pain.

If you were to give me ordinary suffering that would not cause me dishonor, I would bear it cheerfully. But now you are cutting me to the quick with the ruin of my reputation in this affair. It is the worst thing that could happen to me.
Beyond this, he was compelled to bear all this stoically, in silence, his suffering invisible to all but himself and God. (Until later when the little nun wormed it out of him.)
He complained about this too.

One fact caused him sore distress. He had no one to whom he could express his troubles, no one who was searching the same way for the same thing he was called to. And so he went about, an unloved stranger, and with great self discipline, he stayed away.
Now, all of this was in the context of actually following God's commands for his life, but he didn't have to like it.
Quote:Quote:
God of justice, you have utterly overburdened my weak nature with bitter suffering and have deeply wounded my heart with the great dishonor and scorn i have received.
I particularly enjoyed the plaintive:

If ever I sang happily, that is now over with.
Now ultimately, ultimately, he came to accept the plan for his life, and yet even for all that, he couldn't help but comment on the oddness of suffering as a necessary component to spiritual growth.
Quote:Quote:
Gentle Lord, that suffering causes men so much distress and yet at the same time should make them so beautiful spiritually, this is certainly a strange dispensation of God.
I love a good hero as much as anyone else, though for me it is someone like the excitable Suso, not the stoic, who I can relate to.
