hearing with faith?

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Galatians 3:1-5 (Ps) Luke 1:69-75 Luke 11:5-13

Galatians 3:5  Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

This goes deep into my sacramental theology.  Is it faith that matters or is it the works of the law?  Is it form and style or commitment and belief?

Paul seems to be saying that it is by faith that the miracles of God are realized.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to discern whether the sacraments are made true through form and law or by our receiving them in faith?  Help me to have faith and allow you to take care of the miracles.

Amen
