OMAHA, NE – “I am not a guy who throws around the word ‘miracle,’” Bishop Scott Barker pauses, looking out at the new faces of the community of The Benedictine Way, “but the fashion in which the Benedictine Way has evolved in just one year – the way this community has grown in numbers and in prayerfulness and in faithfulness, is. a. miracle. of. God!”
