Ordinary Time refers to the 33 or 34 weeks of the year that are neither Advent, Lent nor Easter time. It includes over half the year and embraces many special days and feasts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncluded in each week is a simple image--a picture of graffiti or street art that act as a prompt or point of reference for the day's reflection. These images are reminders that we are part of a broader community where everyone is trying to create an environment of meaning. They are included as an invitation to keep looking outwards as well as inwards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Every Day is New\u003c\/em\u003e is written in the belief that 'every day is new'. God fills the present with a song, a fragrance, a whisper, a touch. We are blessed if we can appreciate God's more subtle flavors. That is what prayer is for. Every Day is New is proof that there is nothing 'ordinary' about Ordinary Time and will enrich everyone who reads it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael McGirr\u003c\/strong\u003e is a writer, reviewer and educator who has published books on philosophy, literature, spirituality and ethics, as well as hundreds of articles, essays and stories, in publications including The New York Times and The Tablet.
