Enrique Shaw could become the first contemporary businessman and marine to be proclaimed a saint.<\/p>\n
He died at 41, after fighting cancer for five years. Fern\u00e1n Elizalde, postulator of his cause, is in Rome to deliver the documentation that will initiate the Vatican phase of the beatification process.<\/p>\n
FERN\u00c1N ELIZALDE<\/strong> Enrique grew up in Argentina. He was known for his close relationships with others, especially with his workers. He was interested in their families, was always willing to give wise advice based on the Gospel and gave Bibles to the people he knew, to bring them closer to God.<\/p>\n In an interview for Mexican television, the pope said that Enrique Shaw \u201cwas rich, but he was a saint. He managed money well, allowing those who needed help to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n Pope Francis also recognized Enrique at this informal conversation after the General Audience when someone about him.<\/p>\n \u201cThis great guy, he's gonna be holy, huh? He's gonna be holy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cA great businessman and a great man of the Church. You will see that he will be a saint very soon.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n FERN\u00c1N ELIZALDE<\/strong> In the document \u201cGaudete et exsultate,\u201d Pope Francis explained that \u201call people are called to be saints\u201d and that Enrique Shaw would be an example that could fit the profile of what Pope Francis calls \u201cthe saints next door.\u201d<\/p>\n FERN\u00c1N ELIZALDE<\/strong> The documents summarizing his life are already in the Vatican. Now the theologians will have to study them in order to pass their proposal onto bishops and cardinals. If there are no unexpected turns, they will propose that the pope officially recognize his heroic virtues. However, there is no doubt that Pope Francis will accept their proposal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" December 9, 2018. \u201cA great businessman and a great man.

\nCause of Beatification of Enrique Shaw
\n \u201cHe didn't tell anyone he was sick, but he was dying. He battled cancer for five years, but never took medication. When the time came for his life to end, he had to have blood transfusions. About 300 workers from his main factory went to where Enrique was hospitalized, where he was practically waiting to die, and they donated blood for him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nCause of Beatification of Enrique Shaw
\n\u201cWith perseverance, with struggle and with battle, we are advancing very well. We are finishing the Vatican phase, and have a possible first miracle in the works.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nCause of Beatification of Enrique Shaw
\n\u201cI believe that he is very convinced of this. Apart from that, we believe that a holy businessman does not appear every day. I believe that it is the moment where his impulse can help. He is the model that the world needs, a model for entrepreneurs that are more just, more Christian and more human.\u201d<\/p>\n
