I recommend Father Benedict Groshel’s book called “Arise from Darkness”. I found it very helpful.

I just received my copy I ordered from the Spirit Daily website called Offering of Suffering by Paul A. Mihalik.
It has 101 pages.
Ch. 1 heading reads Suffering, Offered in the State of Grace, is Redemptive. Then descriptions of the type of sufferings of many Saints: Padre Pio, St. Therese, St. Peter Alcantara, to name a few. Ch 3 header: the Apostolic Letter Salvifici Doloris (The Christian Meaning of Suffering) Other headings: Suffering for Reparation and Conversions of Souls. Words of Jesus and the Blessed Mother to Sr. Josefa Menendez, a victim soul.
I think this is the just the book you’re looking for.

Excellent book at a good price.
**Lessons from the School of Suffering **
Book by Fr. Jim Willig
Suffering is no guarantee of holiness. Many times it can be an invaluable teacher; other times it can crush a person into self-pity. But the lessons to be learned from suffering are many and, if we learn these lessons well, they can transform our lives, according to a young priest suffering from renal cancer.
In Lessons From the School of Suffering, Fr. Jim Willig shares his story of being diagnosed in his late 40’s with terminal renal cancer and the consequences of living with cancer and undergoing various treatments, none of which have stemmed the disease. Willig, a beloved pastor and inspiring preacher, felt called to share the lessons he has learned from the great pain associated with having cancer.

Life of Christ by Fulton Sheen.
This is the fruit of a lifetime of prayer and study by a gifted, gifted person. Some say it is his best work. I cried when I read the chapter on the beatitudes. I was going through a “pruning” type of time in my life.

A book I have found helpful - and it is not exclusively about the concept of redemptive suffering but this is a major theme of the book - is The Light of Love by Patricia Devlin.
