The 2005 movie, Constantine, may seem like an unlikely source for today’s quote, but it’s a movie that holds great significance for me because of the themes of faith, doubt, hope, and perseverance within the storyline. (Please note that it is, however, not a movie for children with a number of content warnings for gore and scary images. It is one of my favorites that I return to again and again.)
