In this wonderful month, let's fly the beautiful Carillon Sacré-Cœur flag, a symbol of Quebec's rich heritage.

The flag originated from the Carillon banner, said to have been present at the Battle of Fort Carillon in 1758, where the French defeated the British. The Carillon banner was revived in the mid-19th century as a symbol of French Canadians' struggle against assimilation within the British Empire. Later, in 1902, Father Elphège Filiatrault, the parish priest of Saint Jude, drew inspiration from the famous banner to create the Carillon Sacré-Cœur flag, which features a silver cross on an azure background adorned with four tilted fleurs-de-lis pointing towards a Sacred Heart. This flag quickly became popular among French Canadians. The flag of the Quebec province, adopted in 1948, was based on the Carillon Sacré-Cœur.

That is fitting, as June is the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart, not “pride.” The Sacred Heart and "pride" are opposites. As Christ said, "I am meek, and humble of heart" (Matthew 11:29). What is humility? It is the submission of one’s will to God’s will. "Pride" (translated from the English "pride," which also means "arrogance") is, on the contrary, the preference of one's own will over God's. The term "pride" has essentially been chosen to celebrate all these disordered passions gathered under the acronym LGBT(∞).

We are told that LGBT propaganda is imposed on us in the name of "inclusion" and "love" in the media, leisure activities, and even schools. However, inclusion is not a virtue in itself. You cannot include everything, especially when it comes to teaching children practices that are rather far from natural, and of which they would otherwise have no idea. True love seeks only the genuine good of others.

So, what is the Sacred Heart, really? It is the burning love of Christ, who sacrificed his life for us. Our ancestors lived in accordance with this love and humility, raising large, happy families. Humility achieves great things, while pride leads to ruin.

So, instead of flying the flag of pride in June, let us fly the flag of the Sacred Heart.
