I personally think the NO is of little value, but I agree with your larger point.

If obedience meant only enduring things that please us, it wouldn't be virtuous.

True -- in this context, though, reminds me of an (I think) unattributed quote I saw in Christopher Derrick:

A liturgist is an affliction sent by God so that in times of no overt persecution, a Catholic need not be denied the privilege of suffering for the Faith.
