I’m currently saying the 54 day novena, I began on the first of December. It wasn’t intentional, but having the days of the month line up with the days of the novena is very helpful for ensuring I get a rosary said each day. Now I was wondering if it would be ok to, when I’ve finished the first 27 days, take a break for a couple of days and restart the second 27 days on the first of January. Or do I have to say all 54 days in a row?
 
The Rosary is a private devotion. You can do as you please.

Personally, I don’t take a break. My reasoning: I’ve asked for something, seems rude not to say thank you immediately. Now, this is my own personal thinking. :o
 
God looks at the intent not the timing. If your memory is good enough to remember to go back to saying it, it is fine. Think it is very reasonable as well. Without a break you may very well end up just following the motions and not feeling/meaning what you are doing. That is so much worse than a few days off
