Can I recommend the Divine Mercy diary. In this book, Jesus spoke to St. Faustina a Polish nun in the 1930's and revealed to her his desire to have the Divine Mercy Image, the prayers and indeed works of mercy to be spread throughout the world. Our late Holy Father Pope John Paul II who was much responsible for reopening the Divine Mercy devotion, canonised St. Faustina in April 2000 and he also died on the eve of Divine Mercy Sunday.

I cannot recommend the Divine Mercy Diary enough. I have been reading from it for nearly 2 years now. There is always something in it that applies to my daily life. Lately I have regularly down loaded the Divine Mercy Minute from http://thedivinemercy.org/ printing it on a nice Powerpoint layout that I then put next to my desk at work in a place where most people can't see it. I also include in the layout the picture of Jesus that St. Faustina gave us as well as a small picture of her. I have to do that to avoid problems with my office mates. All I have to do is look up to my right and read the thought for the day and be blessed. I also do that with an excerpt from Josemaria Escriva's The Way. Each chapter has a number that makes it easy to put up next to my desk as well.
So when I'm waiting for a program or document to load I can glance to my Faustina message or Escriva sentence, say a shotgun prayer and then move on. It's really helpful to keep them next to me so that I can be in prayer all day.
