Certainly to be in His presence (cum vultu [suo]) is fullness of joy, but, then beyond that fullness =, at His right hand (in dextera [sua]) are delights forever!
The Love and friendship of our Blessed Mother, and the company of the saints, these are among the delectationes, the pleasures and delights, that God so incredibly, so extravagantly provides. Not JUST that He saves us from sin and redeems us from the grave and every peril, but then He brings us a hot fudge sundae!
So, I guess in the face of the haters, it is up to us to focus on the joy, and to let the Love transform and edify us, while the haters will do what they can to distract us.
Satan, when he tempted our Lord, kept on challenging His being. IF you are the Son of God, then -- do this or that. So the haters start by challenging the Love of God in our lives, telling us we are deluded, deceived, and deceitful.
Maybe the opportunity here is to try to use this as an occasion, a further occasion to cast ourselves on God's mercy.
I am resolved. I've already been to Mass today, but tomorrow I'm going to talk to my pastor about consecrating myself to Mary. It's the only reasonable response to this lunacy and spite.
DID YOU SEE THIS -We have solemn documents by Pope Innocent VIII, 1484; Julias II, 1504; and Adrian VI, 1523; on the subject of Possession. So SERIOUS had the situation become at the DAWN of Protestantism, that EVERY Catholic priest was given the power of exorcism. -THE SPIRIT OF THE AIR WAS DOING OVERTIME BECAUSE OF THE FALLING AWAY FROM THE CHURCH.

Not saying you shouldn't do that, but here's another reasonable response:
Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you. Bless them that curse you, and pray for them that calumniate you. And to him that striketh thee on the one cheek, offer also the other. And him that taketh away from thee thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.
I see the two responses going together, actually.
