RIP, Fr. Larry Murphy, the oldest Maryknoll priest at 103. Not likely to be canonized, but certainly a saint by the standard of Pope Francis, "by living our lives with love and by bearing witness in everything we do, wherever we find ourselves.” He did not dwell on the past.

He was always thinking of the future--how to bear effective witness to God's love for the world. Every month he invited me and friends to dinner to discuss the meaning and challenge of mission in our time. His apostolate of friendship and hospitality left its mark on the world.
