Salmon are anadromous fish, they hatch in fresh water, swim to the ocean to live their lives, but return to fresh water to spawn. They swim upstream [against the tide] to reach their spawning grounds.
What does that mean for us? It reminds that we swim [live] against the tide of our me-first, get even culture, a culture focused on the material things. We are called to love our enemies and to put others ahead of ourselves.
Lent is our time to return to our roots as Christians and seriously look at how we are living as disciples of Jesus.
May God Be Praised.
