	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.

Antífona. Reinos de la tierra, canten a Dios.			
V. Levántese Dios, y se dispersen sus enemigos; * que huyan de su presencia los que le odian.			
V. Como el humo se disipa, disípense ellos; * como se derrite la cera ante el fuego, derrítanse los malos ante Dios.			
Antífona.			
V. Empero alégrense los justos, gócense delante de Dios; * regocíjense también, rebosando de júbilo.			
V. Canten a Dios, canten alabanzas a su Nombre; enaltezcan al que cabalga sobre los cielos; * su Nombre es Adonaí; regocijense delante de él.			
Antífona.			
V. Padre de huérfanos, defensor de viudas, * es Dios en su santa morada.			
V. A los solitarios Dios da un hogar, y saca a libertad a los cautivos; * mas los rebeldes habitarán en tierra seca.			
Antífona.			
V. Oh Dios, cuando saliste delante de tu pueblo, * cuando avanzaste por el desierto,			
V. La tierra tembló, el cielo derramó su lluvia, * ante Dios, el Dios de Sinaí, ante Dios, el Dios de Israel.
