Yes, you don’t have to read much. Sometimes we need to retreat into silence even regarding the written word. God is ineffable; and we hunger for all of His silence.
Speak to Him in secret. He will respond to you with His silence, which surpasses all words. Talk to Him about yourself, about those you love, about the church, about the world. Again and again tell Him the words of the gospel: “Lord God, send workers into Your vineyard.” And He will do it because of your prayer.
(Cardinal Charles Journet /1891–1975/, correspondence)
