Bishop Mariann Budde is the first woman to lead the Episcopal Diocese of Washington .

Her sermon at the national prayer service went viral last week .

She appealed directly to President Donald Trump for empathy towards those he maligns.

The president called her “nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart”.

President Trump has called a woman who he has called “nasty” She says she was half expecting criticism from those on the more critical side of this administration to take offense at the fact that she asked him for mercy.

She says it's especially important not to demonize people, even if I might say that their actions are egregious.

There’s been a lot of talk about how the so-called “resistance” to Trump is feeling hopeless and tapped out.

Yet so many people responded to your message.

There are forces for good in the universe, and they do help us when we feel our energies are spent, even if it's not a faith perspective.
