Our parish is located next to Marine Corp Base Quantico, headquarters of the US Marine Corp. And as you’d expect we have lots of military families and members that make up the parish. They are quite familiar with the term “force multiplier.” In military terminology, the expression refers to any factor or capability that enhances the effectiveness and overall combat power of a military force beyond its basic capabilities. It denotes a tool, strategy, or resource that amplifies the impact of a military force, enabling it to achieve greater results or exert more influence on the battlefield. Examples can include advanced technology, air superiority, logistics, specialized units, e.g. recon, and more.

“The one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness.” (2 Cor 9:10)

The grace of God: the divine force multiplier.
