Novena for Retirement – Day 6: Health and Strength

Today's Focus: Health and Strength

Good health is a gift that enables us to enjoy and serve in retirement. Today we ask God for the physical and spiritual strength to live this season fully.

Prayer for Day 6

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord, You are the source of all health and strength. I ask for the grace to care well for the body You have given me — through exercise, good nutrition, rest, and medical care. Preserve my health so that I may serve You and enjoy the blessings of this season. And when health challenges come, give me the grace to face them with faith and peace.

Scripture Reading:
"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?" (1 Corinthians 6:19)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Reflection for Today

Retirement is an opportunity to prioritize health in ways that busy working life may not have allowed. Consider one healthy habit you want to establish in this new season — regular walks, better sleep, more time in nature, or a consistent prayer routine.
