Wallace was trying to win Scotland’s freedom from the cruel

In a poem attributed to Archbishop Oscar Romero, entitled “Prophets of a Future Not Our Own,” he states:
“It helps, now and then, to step back and take the long view. We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work. Nothing we do is complete,
