The 54-Day Rosary Novena

A 54-day novena is exactly what it sounds like: the rosary, prayed once a day, for 54 days in a row. About 20 minutes each day.

For the first 27 days you hold one intention. For the last 27, you give thanks for it, whether or not it's been answered yet.

You will miss a day. Almost everyone does over 54 days.

The rule here is mercy: pray again the next day and you're still in. Nobody keeps score of the days you slip.
