We ask you to remember us...

In every coptic church (world-wide) they word this verse differently, 

example: 

-o our faithful advocate...

-o our trusted patroness...

-o our faithful intercessor...

What are other words you have heard instead of "ADVOCATE"?

This is a result of different people translating "]`proctatyc"...which is a Greek word. In:

- Meawad Dawood Coptic dictionary, he says it means: شفيع=intercessor, وسيط=middleman/advocate

- Strong's Concordance: https://biblehub.com/greek/4368.htm: protector/patroness

- Greek Dictionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CF%80%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%83%CF%84%CE%AC%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82

All arabic translation i saw of that word in our liturgical texts, they translate it as شفيع=intercessor
