Sayings From The Church Fathers
The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force' (Matt. 11:12), since it is 'through many tribulations that we must enter the kingdom' (Acts 14:22) of heaven. The 'kingdom of heaven' consists in partaking of the Holy Spirit, for this is what the saying 'The kingdom of heaven is within you' (Luke 17:21) means. So we must endeavor to receive the Holy Spirit within ourselves and to keep Him.
- St. Symeon the New Theologian, from The Discourses: VI, no. 4; Paulist Press pg. 122
