Explanation:
Sounds a bit strange to me - but there seems not to be any feminine form of "intercessor" in English.

neutral  Matthias Quaschning-Kirsch: Sure? Almost all of the (sparse!) web references have "Mother of Intercession *and Reparation*" as the complete term. And in the text you mention, Mary is adressed as "intercessor", too. So, M.o.I. is OK, but far away from being the only correct term.

disagree  Pavel Blann: the term in question is "přímluvkyně", not "matka přímluv" // in this series, you don't have to repeat Mother or Virgin Mary in each and every heading...
1 hr
  -> Since it refers to Virgin Mary, the whole term "Mother of Intercession" would be more appropriate.
