About Prerana ISC

A Jesuit Centre for Ignatian Spirituality

Who We Are

Prerana ISC (Ignatian Spirituality Centre) is a Jesuit institution under the Karnataka Province of the Society of Jesus, dedicated to offering the riches of Ignatian spirituality to priests, religious, and laity. Rooted in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, we seek to accompany individuals and communities on their journey toward a deeper encounter with God.

Our centre provides a sacred space for prayer, reflection, and discernment — a place where the ancient wisdom of the Ignatian tradition meets the pressing spiritual needs of our times.

"The Society of Jesus wages war for God under the banner of the cross and serves the Lord alone and the Church, his spouse, under the Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Christ on earth."

Pedro Arrupe SJ, Superior General, Society of Jesus

Our Charisma

The Ignatian tradition offers a rich spirituality that shapes our apostolic identity and the way we walk with those we serve.

Cura Personalis

Care for the whole person — body, mind, and soul — recognising the unique dignity and journey of each individual in God's sight.

Magis

The drive toward the "greater good" — always seeking what is more conducive to God's greater glory and the service of humanity.

Finding God in All Things

The Ignatian conviction that God can be encountered in every dimension of life, creation, and human experience.

Men and Women for Others

Inspired by Pedro Arrupe, we form people who live in service of justice, compassion, and solidarity with the marginalised.

Contemplatives in Action

Uniting deep contemplative prayer with apostolic engagement — drawing on the inner life to sustain outward mission.

The Spiritual Exercises

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are a 4-week structured programme of prayer, meditation, and discernment — the heart of everything we offer at Prerana ISC.

First Week
Gratitude, Sin & Mercy

We begin by contemplating God's overwhelming love and goodness, honestly facing our sinfulness, and receiving the mercy of a God who restores us.

Second Week
Life of Christ & Discernment

We walk with Jesus through his public ministry, learning to hear God's call and grow in the art of Ignatian discernment of spirits.

Third Week
The Passion of Christ

We enter into the suffering and death of Jesus, accompanying him in love and learning the deep solidarity that flows from a contemplative heart.

Fourth Week
Resurrection & Mission

We rejoice in the Risen Christ and receive our mission — sent into the world as instruments of God's love, justice, and consolation.
