If the body is brought to the church immediately before Mass, the priest vested for Mass, may receive the funeral at the Church door, offering his sympathy to the relatives and sprinkling the coffin with holy water.

Then the body is carried into the Church, followed by the people and the priest. A cross maybe placed on the coffin, and lighted candles may be placed at its side, or the paschal candle alone may be placed at the head of the deceased.

2        Introductory rites

After the people have assembled, the priest and the ministers go to the altar while the entrance song is sung. At the altar, the priest makes the customary reverence with the ministers, and (if incense is used) incenses the altar. Then, with the ministers, he goes to the chair, and facing the people, greets them with these or similar words:

M: Muzita raBaba, naMwanakomana namweya Mutsvene.

M: Kwaziwai vatenderi vadiwa.

V: Kaziwai.

M: Hama, rupenyu rwaMambo wedu Jesu Kristo norudo rwaMwari Baba noruwadzano rwaMweya Mutsvene ngaruve nemi mose.

V: Ngaruve nemiwo.

The priest, deacon, or other suitable minister may very briefly introduce the Mass.

3        Penitential Rite

The priest addresses the people with these or similar words:

M: Tinokumbira rubatsiro rwaMwari, Baba naMwanakomana naMWeya Mutsvene, kuti tinyatsopira muteuro wedu wanhasi. Saka ngatipfidzei matadzo edu.
