Please note, Hawkeye is rated TV-14. We’ve gone through the journey of redemption with Clint Barton since the Christmas Season. Now it’s time to see the next step on the journey: Evangelizing. Yelena Belova, Natasha Romanov’s sister, has been after Clint for a long time, thinking that he killed her in Avengers: Endgame. At the end of Hawkeye season 1, she’s now planning to get her revenge. Before she takes out Barton, she wants to know what happened. Clint finally gets a chance to tell her the truth: Natasha sacrificed herself to save the world. Yelena doesn’t believe Clint, and even asks why he deserved to be saved. Clint admits that he doesn’t. He also uses a sign, something only Yelena and Natasha would have known. This finally convinces Yelena of the truth and that maybe Barton doesn’t need to die by her hand. One of the things we are called to do in our Faith is to Evangelize, as we learn at the end of Matthew. Another way to put this is we are called to tell the story. When we tell the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ, we have to be humble like Barton. We didn’t get this news first because we are better. We aren’t servants of God because we deserve it. We don’t. Yet we are called to tell the story anyways. Not everyone will be ready right away to hear us, just as Yelena wasn’t. That’s why tools, like the Gospel according to Superheroes, are so important. They help us connect the Gospel message with something known and loved by others. They help make that connection so the Gospel can resonate with others. Our hope is that all the Yelenas of the world can hear Jesus’ message and truth. Until then, we stay in the game like Clint in hopes that one day we will reach others with the gift of Love and Grace that comes from our Lord alone.
