Novena Question

This is from the FAQs on the Novena for the Nation website. Based on what I can see you can adapt the rosary you would normally pray to include the intentions for this 54 day novena. Pray it the way it seems right to you.

Q: We have a group of parishioners who would like to pray the 54 day Rosary Novena before or following daily Mass. What do you recommend?
A: If you are already praying the Rosary before or following daily Mass, you can easily incorporate the daily reflections and prayers into praying the Rosary. You should be able to complete the daily Rosary Novena in under a half hour.

For those of you who want to join the novena but did not start at the beginning please join if you would like. Here is an FAQ concerning that.

Q: I missed the start of the 54 day Rosary Novena. Can I still participate?
A: Absolutely; part of the power of the 54 day Rosary Novena is in the number of people praying together. Please join in whenever you find out about the Novena and are able to pray it.

Another question or two for you...I normally say an intention as I begin each decade. Can I do this during the 54 day novena? Also I usuallyl finish with the Memorare and the Magnificat. What about these as I feel I am not doing what I should if I leave these out?

According to the National Shrine Museum of St. Therese it begins on 9/23 and ends on 10/1. Their website is at https://saint-therese.org/novenas/st-there

I have always wondered, is the novena supposed to conclude with Day 9 on the Feast Day or the day before the Feast Day. For Example, does the Novena to the Little Flower end on Sep 30th or Oct 1st?
