Fifteen years after its launch, Rezandovoy continues to accompany the daily prayer of hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Founded in 2011 in Valladolid by a group of Jesuits, the initiative offers a short daily audio prayer inspired by the Gospel and has become one of the most widely used digital prayer formats in the Spanish-speaking world.

The project was born from a simple intuition: to help people find space for prayer in the midst of increasingly busy lives. As José María Rodríguez Olaizola SJ recalls, many struggled to pause and pray amid their daily routines. Rezandovoy sought to respond by offering a brief but meaningful moment of reflection—an accessible way to integrate prayer into everyday life.

While inspired by the English-language initiative Pray As You Go, the team quickly realised that more than a translation was needed. Instead, they developed a distinct format adapted to Spanish-speaking audiences—effectively creating one of the earliest examples of what would later be known as a podcast.

Today, the project reaches an estimated 800,000 unique users each month. Beyond direct downloads, its content circulates widely through messaging platforms, local communities, and even radio broadcasts. Since its launch on 9 March 2011, more than 5,000 prayer recordings have been produced, all following a simple and recognisable structure: a Gospel reading, music, moments of silence, and a brief reflection.

Particularly impactful are prayers accompanying key moments in people’s lives—such as birthdays, grief, or times of loss—which often resonate deeply with listeners. Testimonials received by the team highlight how these prayers provide comfort, meaning, and a sense of closeness to God in decisive moments.

Despite its growth and the addition of new formats—including prayers for children and special series—the essence of Rezandovoy remains unchanged. Its mission continues to be simple yet profound: to help people pray each day, trusting in the transformative power of daily encounter with the Gospel.

Looking ahead, the team is preparing the launch of a new website and mobile application, expected later this year, as part of the broader celebration of its 15th anniversary. In continuity with its origins, the goal remains clear: to bring prayer and the Gospel into the rhythm of everyday life.
