“Piety expresses reverence, desire to show only respect in church, during private prayers, or at public devotions. Piety is necessary for purity.
Piety could be termed ‘a stepping stone to purity’, for without reverence, without respect, there would be a chance of undignified attitude or response when a time for reverence or respect should be acted upon or acted in, or shown in and through example.
All men should express piety when they pray. In many ways, piety says out loud, a sincere desire to extend to God personal love.
True piety is not fanaticism.”
