-Feast of St. Hugh of Grenoble<\/a> <\/em><\/div>\n

It\u2019s roughly the midpoint of Lent. Unlike last Friday, when we were celebrating a Solemnity<\/a>, we are back to abstaining from meat today. But no worries. I\u2019ve always been fond of fish tacos, so that is what\u2019s on the menu at Casa del Weathers<\/em> tonight. And there is beer to go with them, for the adults anyway, so all is well.
\n<\/a>
\nTonight\u2019s feature presentation is Lilies of the Field<\/a><\/em> starring Sidney Poitier. Poitier won the Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for this film in 1964. I never saw it though because I was a baby in swaddling clothes around that time.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019ve always liked Poitier\u2019s work. For example: \u00a0Blackboard Jungle, The Bedford Incident, <\/em>and\u00a0Guess Who\u2019s Coming to Dinner. <\/em>I also liked him in To Sir with Love<\/em> and\u00a0They Call Me MISTER Tibbs. <\/em>Come to think of it, <\/em>I don\u2019t think there is a single movie I\u2019ve seen him in that I did not like.<\/p>\n

So what is this film about? Based on a true story that was fictionalized as a novel by William Edmund Barret, the story is about one Homer Smith and a group of nuns he stumbles upon. \u00a0Out of luck, and out of work, he stops to put some water in his radiator at a farm in Arizona while heading westward to find construction work. The farm just happens to be run by a gaggle of transplanted East German nuns from the Sisters of Walburga.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, this is a match made in heaven and brought together on earth. Homer isn\u2019t to sure about all this, bun the nuns are. Have a look at the trailer (and prepare to be sucked in for the whole enchilada).<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qCEWzXTk8_k<\/a>\n

Are you humming the tune \u201cAmen\u201d yet? Head to your usual video outlets, or watch this on You Tube or over at Gloria.tv in its entirety.<\/p>\n
