	Lesser feasts and fasts (1997)	
Lesser Feasts and Fasts does not assign specific collects to Weekdays in Eastertide.  There is a rotating cycle of collects, and it is assumed that the celebrant will assign the next collect in turn only on vacant days.  However, to leave the collect unassigned was not in keeping with the format of this book.  The editor, therefore, has assigned collects to specific days.  The user is advised that the collects for the weekdays in Eastertide represent the choice of the editor and not the authority of the Church, so the user is free to select a different collect.
