This week's Gospel reading reminds me of when I was teaching literature to the seventh and eighth grade students at what was then Saint Patrick School in Providence. I closed out the 8th Grade school year with the book version of the Lilies of the Field, written by William E. Barrett.
After we read the novel, I would show the movie version of the story. The movie, Lilies of the Field, starred Sidney Poitier as Homer Smith, a role for which he received an Oscar for Best Actor. The movie received five Oscar nominations.
