Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The personal arms are composed of a blue field on which is displayed a gold barlet across the center. Above the gold barlet are a gold fleur-de-lis, which is taken from the arms of Pope Paul VI, during whose pontificate His Excellency was ordained as a priest and in whose service the Bishop worked in the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. Beside the fleur-de-lis is an eight-pointed gold star, symbol of Mary, Star of the Sea, Morning Star, and into whose protection the Bishop placed himself and his ministry as a bishop. The star is found in many of the churches of Rome, insluding St. Peter's Basilica where Bishop Murphy was ordained to the priesthood.
In the lower section is a gold sunburst charged with a silver monogram of the Holy Name (IHS). This is the symbol of St. Bernardine of Siena who called people to the love and reverence of the Holy Name. This symbolism was also used in the arms of Cardinal Bernardin Gantin whose fatherly guidance in the Roman Curia was such an important part of Bishop Murphy's life.
For his motto, Bishop Murphy uses the phrase "NO OTHER NAME." This is a reference to one of the first discourses of St. Peter as recorded by St. Luke in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 4:12): "There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we can be saved ."
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, confirmed in March 2001.
