I'm not catholic but I religiously pray the breviary. I was told to on one of my personal prayers to pray the rosary and when I did so I started looking into what the founding fathers prayed and I prayed for that information for a few months. I was lead to the liturgy of the hours. I never knew a single catholic in my life. I've had no training except for Jesus and the Holy mother during this whole process. But I take the book everywhere with me. It annoys my husband sometimes. One time I was in at the doctors and such and had my book and he's like were going to be in there for five minutes you shouldn't need your book. I said when the doctor call's I'll put my ribbon in it. HE pulls out his phone two seconds later to be entertained and I asked him what's the difference between me having my prayer book out in public and you scrolling through social media and I don't say anything about it. He thought about that for a while. Later after getting out of the office I was stopped by the guy in the truck next to us and he thanked me for having my book. I said I'd rather pray the book than have a phone out and we had a small conversation about it. My husband since then hasn't said anything about me carrying my book. Lol. He thought it was actually encouraging that the man took time out of his day to thank a random stranger for praying a book. I think if people are able to be accepted by pulling out their phones in the middle of a conversation to check their social media, then it should be appropriate that someone pull out a prayer book and start praying in the same way.
I would guess I cannot give a better answer than this from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. Essentially, though, it is a belief rooted in a more materialistic understanding of the faith.
