заступництво (reserve for saints'/Theotokos intercession contexts)

Intercession

клопотання is the correct general term for prayer on behalf of others (Romans 8:26-27). заступництво is the term used almost exclusively in Orthodox and Greek Catholic devotion for the intercession of the saints and the Mother of God (Богородиця); using it here would blur Christ’s and the Spirit’s unique intercessory role in Romans 8 with that specific devotional practice.
