William McNamara Today, Age 83
This is a photo of the mystic and spiritual writer William McNamara taken by the editors of this website on Wednesday, April 29, 2009, near the beach in Orange County, California. Diagnosed with a terminal illness, frail and using a cane, he is nevertheless remarkably bright-eyed and full of plans.

WILLIAM MACNAMARA. By the Grace of the Almighty I will be visiting the Carmelite monastery in Ireland and without you it would not be possible. Thank you and may the Almighty grant you the highest happiness for eternity!
Love,
Sean

Beloved Father William McNamara,
Fr. McNamara is an indelible heartprint of love in my life, and he is (and will always be) my North Star forever. I am sorry to hear about his diagnosis, I know that courage pulses through his veins.
Our family is fortunate (especially my mother, Kathleen) to be a friend of Father McNamara, and I have benefited greatly from his books and retreats. I have lost touch with Father McNamara for many years. Plese give Father my love. Thank you.
Love, Teresa Magrath

Fr McNamara, you are ever in my prayers. May God’s grace shine upon you and receive you warmly!
You have profoundly impacted my life with your writings, and I never even had the pleasure of meeting you.
Blessings to you,
Dana Nalls
