A breviary is a liturgical book used in Christianity, specifically within the Roman Catholic Church, containing the Divine Office or Liturgy of the Hours, which are prayers to be recited at fixed times throughout the day. It serves as a guide for clergy and laypeople to engage in the Church's daily prayer, fostering a rhythm of prayer that sanctifies the day.
