We never saw him perform any miracles, but the way he lived his life was a miracle. He lived the hidden lif eof Christ and the Blessed Mother, living a very ordinary life in an extraordinary way.

Who is Servant of God Paul M. Murphy, MJ?

Paul M. Murphy, MJ, one of the first members of Miles Jesu, professed the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience on December 25, l966.

Paul Murphy was a successful architect in Phoenix, Arizona. Everyone who met him could see the shining example of a true Christian leading a good life despite the surrounding temptations of the world. Paul Murphy had a deep secret. Without his co-workers being aware of it, he had given the complete gift of himself to God and to Our Blessed Mother by his vows. This commitment of his always showed forth in all his words and actions.

People knew there was “something special about him.”

May Paul’s life give encouragement and serve as an example to you in following Christ. It is a definite challenge to live for Christ in today’s world, but it can be done, as Paul Murphy has proven with his own life.

May Paul’s noble example of following Christ strengthen you to do the same.
– Very Rev. Fr. Alphonsus Maria Duran, MJ
Founder of Miles Jesu
