No.

Miracles happen by God’s will alone.
We can do nothing to cause a miracle.

It is by faith that we can be open to see events as miracles.

No.

But you said this

The relics inspire greater faith in Christ. And that greater faith in Christ opens one up to the miracle.

Thus my question if miracles happen by the faith generated by the relic.. or by faith alone?

It seems like 2 different answers on the same topic to me .

Of what benefit are relics if they do not preform miracles and the "faith" they produce does not bring the miracle?
