Penitential Act at Memorial Mass

Q: Should we include the Penitential Act for a “Memorial Mass?” (Mass for the Dead, no body.) Should we have the Paschal Candle present and lit at these Masses, as well?

Thank you, as always, for your knowledge and insight,

A: Yes, include the Penitential Act.

If this Mass for the Dead with no body is in fact the funeral Mass, then light the paschal candle.
