"Her glories are not only for the sake of her Son — they are for our sakes also."

Whereas in The Glories of Mary for the Sake of Her Son, Newman focuses primarily upon the then soon-to-be-defined dogma of the Immaculate Conception, here he draws special attention to Mary's Assumption, and to the fitness — or, as he says, becomingness — of both dogmas.

Newman further points out that Mary's glories are not only for the sake of her Son, but for the sake of us, the rest of her children, as well.
