AE 325b [5]
...Divine worship itself consists primarily in a life of charity, and secondarily in prayers...
AE 325b [12]
...when man is in a life of charity he is constantly praying, if not with the mouth yet with the heart; for that which is of the love is constantly in the thought, even when man is unconscious of it...
...it is clear that "praying" in the spiritual sense is worship from love. But those who place piety in prayers and not in the life have no relish for this truth, in fact their thought is contrary to it; such do not even know what practical piety is.

I love that phrase: practical piety! It two words, it says so much.
