Take it as a compliment that so many who are evil are out to destroy her. Jesus provides the reason for the hatred:

John 15
18”If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’[b] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. 22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. 23He who hates me hates my Father as well. 24If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’

Notice that knowing the truth makes you responsible for it, and they HATE that idea of being unappealably responsible for their behavior.

My thoughts exactly. She is one who has taken up her cross for his sake. She endures all of this evil to renew the hope of a return to our Godly principles. God is using her to show the world his love for us, that is why people of good are drawn to her and those of evil are repulsed. I keep repeating to my self “Be not afraid.”
