If you've ever struggled to maintain a consistent prayer life — especially during busy commutes or hectic mornings — Pray As You Go was made for you. This free daily audio prayer app, produced by the Jesuits in Britain, offers guided prayer sessions lasting 10–13 minutes that weave together music, Scripture, and reflective questions rooted in Ignatian spirituality.^1 A new session is produced every single day, so all you need to do is press play.^2
Celebrating its 20th anniversary in March 2026, Pray As You Go began as a simple Lenten podcast experiment by Fr. Peter Scally SJ in 2006, designed to help commuters pray on the go.^3 What started small quickly resonated — and today the app serves over half a million people annually, with more than 134,000 active monthly users across countries including the United States (65,000+ monthly), United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, and the Philippines.^4 The app has been adapted into nine languages, including Spanish (Rezando Voy), French (Prie en Chemin), Arabic, and Polish.^3
Beyond the flagship daily prayer, Pray As You Go offers imaginative contemplations, Examen review prayers, sleep prayers, mental health prayer guides, content for children and families, and even prayers in sign language (BSL, ASL, and Irish Sign Language).^1 A monthly "Pray with the Pope" series, launched in January 2026 in partnership with the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network, invites users to unite with the global Church around Pope Leo XIV's monthly prayer intention through a short video message and guided reflective prayer session.^5 While rooted in the Catholic tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the app has a remarkably ecumenical audience — roughly half Catholic, half Protestant — making it a welcoming space for Christians of all backgrounds.^1
