George Wendt was an actor and he starred in "Cheers".
He loved to sit on that stool and drink plenty of beer.
He starred in many shows and movies but will be best remembered as Norm Peterson.
He attended Jesuit Rockhurst College and graduated with a B.A. in economics in 1971.
After he lived for 76 years, we're saying goodbye.
He was a unique man and it was his time to die.
People were fortunate to be able to see him act.
When I say that he had talent and skill, it's a fact.
[Dedicated to George Wendt (1948-2025) who died on May 20, 2025]
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Jovial Dr Jekyll played for juvenile Justice
a just jaspered journey
jokingly jumped a joyride
to juicy jukebox jabbering
in jackal jackboots
from nearby jungle
Dr Jekyll clasped a jackknife eating
jambalaya to justify a
juggled juxtapositional
jurisdiction jamming
as jugular vein jingled jewels
joyfully jauntily jaywalking
to a jay named Jim Jolly !
Onward he jumped to a
Jungian junction
Jupiter jocund watching his
journeying joints
journalese seemed a jibe jig
but neither Jewess, Jesuit
or jeweller jiggled this job
So he jerked his jess
like a jape for Japan
Jejuning onto January for the
next jangle of jasmine
No jellyfish was Dr Jekyll in Jordanian jerkin
though sometimes Mr Hyde
with jeroboam swirling alongside !
They think that, when you hear the gospel, you start working, creating by your own strength a thankful heart which says, ''I believe.'' That is what they think true faith is—Martin Luther
Your faith is not blind
Change is what you’ll find
Submit
now, your troubled mind
Genuine and kind
Admit
all bad acts, unbind
Re-born! A refined
flame lit
God ‘s soldier commit
Good works, Jesuit
Faith is
everywhere, we sit
on a chair made fit
With this
a carpenter’s wit
Blind faith like hell's pit
Amiss
Holy Spirit bliss
The humble He gifts
Mankind
righteousness is its
divinity’s kiss
Remind
us of His promise
Paradise justice
designed
This Easter we honor God’s Holy Son,
Who willingly,gave up His very life!
So that human beings could live an
eternal one.
Christ had his Calvary, and each of us,
We will have ours.
Not one of us are perfect, but we can, by His laws live.
To earn a place in heaven, to spend glorious hours.
How He endured such pain for all mankind, still stuns me!
He forgave all who there who were responsible for His
most horrendous death.
But retained his divinity, as part of the most divine Trinity.

Dedicated to the Jesuit priests and nuns of the Sinsinawa Order!
Thank you for an outstanding education..
Buttercup as an anemone, I see my bonbon
In the midst of a wharve spin,
Graciously thin languette,
Ecclesiastic, a true coquette,
Offered for a handful of sequin
On the 1000-thread linen, rests Evangeline!
Shine the uptown shrine with whispering vocal cords
As the frock is overcome with a slow descend,
Never mind the sallow ambience of
An ageing Jesuit mission, or thereof,
Words of prohibition annulled by disparlure:
Madame! – as they say, I don’t kiss-poor.
My appearance, utterance of faith,
Expected and grandiloquent,
Clasped the mortification with inflamed blood,
Yet budding desire, instantly prescribed,
Not to let it out of my sight.
But to greybeard wonderful torrents of luxury,
About to 5G live-stream this imperious rite
Will put a stop to any cavil,
A cue in hand to excite ’n’ appease the inner devil,
I abide the coming, Evangeline!
Cordial satisfaction, marvellous plantation of joy,
Memento mori, I must this very moment, I must die.
He was born to Protestant parents
and became master of a grammar school.
In London, he was converted
to the faith of original Church.
In Rome, he became Jesuit novice.
Soon after he was ordained a priest,
desiring to become a missionary to India.
He returned home to recuperate from sickness.
In England he was arrested
and condemned to death because of faith.
After being tortured, he was executed –
the witness to Christ Church.
He is blessed spirit,
missionary of mercy,
achieving miracles
even in the city of Gotham.
You all know that everything
is not as it seems,
wondering who is working
behind the scenes,
so its time to put on our
thinking caps and glasses,
to get an idea of who could be
the puppet masters,
could it be the two candidates
are just like a Pinnochio,
with someone who mentored
both of them behind the
curtain during the show,
someone or some people
who are "more in the know",
they give the two candidates
much of their advice,
and when one of them become
president,
better heed it or they could
lose their life,
these mentors are just like
a Gepetto pulling their strings,
much like a Jesuit Illuminati
in a bad dream.
He was raised Protestant –
later, upon studies,
he converted to Catholicism
and became a Jesuit
as is current pope Francis.
He labored with zeal
after ordination,
proclaiming true religion to all Nations.
With six other priests he was arraigned
on the charge of high treason
and condemned to death by an English court.
He was subjected to inhuman tortures and executed.
In prison, he converted
many fellow prisoners,
imprinting the cross of Christ
on their minds.
In his youth he became an Anglican deacon,
but the doubts about Protestantism beset him
and after further study,
he returned to Catholicism.
Young Jesuit priest,
arrested by priest hunters
in Anglican England
for teaching about the Christ.
He was convicted of high treason
and executed in England,
which had been Catholic for a 1000 of years,
later religious difficulties arose.
Priest Campion said before his martyrdom:
"In condemning us, the Catholic priests,
you condemn all your own ancestors,
all our ancient bishops and kings…”
He was executed in London
for his catholic faith.
Priest murdered
“in the majesty of the law”
in a treacherous country.
Is this your tolerance,
making judgments
on human conscience.
“After ordination he wandered from place to place
to reduce souls which went astray
and were in error as to the knowledge
of the Catholic Church”.
In this whirl of persecution,
another Jesuit priest was murdered.
All his guilt,
was being a catholic priest.
He wanted to spend a life of chastity
so off he went to a Jesuit seminary
till he saw pretty damsels during communion
and out the window flew his cherished vocation!
