All I know about novenas are that they are 9 day prayers.
A couple questions…

When should you pray a novena?
How do you know which one to choose?
What kind of intentions do you make?
How do I explain a novena to a non-Catholic? Why a NINE day prayer? Is this biblical?

Thank you!
 
Pray them whenever you want.

Nine Rosaries.
Nine Chaplets.
Nine prayers.

You can say the Our Father ten times x nine days if you want.

The Divine Mercy Novena + Chaplets can be prayed at any time but Good Friday start is the main one.

I say them all the time, it stops me going days without praying as I have to form that link.

It comes from the time they apostles were in the upper room between the Ascension and Pentecost.

Correct.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

†

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
