After the prayer was written in 2021, the devotion grew quietly and bore fruit in various Church ministries. In 2023, artist Elizabeth Zelasko was commissioned to paint the image, and a prayer card was made. The devotion became public in August 2024 when Most Rev. Gerald L. Vincke, Bishop of Salina, granted it his \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNihil Obstat\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Then on October 1, 2025, during the General Audience in Rome, Bishop Vincke presented His Holiness Pope Leo XIV with Mary Shield of Peace prayer cards in six different languages. Today the prayer and accompanying image continue to guide the faithful to the peace of Christ through the protection of His mother, Mary Shield of Peace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wb-stl-normal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe following text describes the image received during prayer and was used as a reference for the painting:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wb-stl-normal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wb-stl-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Mary is young and visibly pregnant. She walks barefoot across a lush and sunny meadow. From her feet emanates a translucent shield, coming up like a rounded forcefield around her. The source of this powerful shield is the Prince of Peace in Mary's womb. On the other side of the shield is darkness and Satan's army trying to attack, but no evil can breach Mary's impenetrable shield.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"maryshieldofpeace.org","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46672046653615,"sku":"16763","price":1.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/6840\/3267\/files\/Mary-SOP-Watermark-Image.jpg?v=1773242096","url":"https:\/\/www.thevillagedove.com\/products\/mary-shield-of-peace-prayer-card","provider":"The Village Dove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
