luke17_21

...the kingdom of heaven or, rather, the King of heaven - ineffable in His generosity - is within us (cf. Luke 17:21); and to Him we should cleave through acts of repentance and patient endurance, loving as much as we can Him who so dearly has loved us. St. Gregory Palamas (Topics of Natural and Theological Science no. 57, The Philokalia Vol. 4 edited by Palmer, Sherrard and Ware; Faber and Faber pg. 373)
