The invocations come after the breaking of the Host and the greeting of peace, just before Communion.at Masses for the Dead dona eis réquiem takes the place of miserére nobis

The priest covers the chalice, genuflects and rises. Bowing before the Blessed Sacrament with joined hands, he says the Agnus Dei in an audible voice and strikes his breast three times — at each “miserére nobis” and at “dona nobis pacem”. At a sung Mass all the faithful sing it.

In Missis Defunctorum non dicitur miserére nobis, sed eius loco dona eis requiem, et in tertio additur sempitérnam.
This rubric governs Masses for the Dead: there “dona eis réquiem” takes the place of “miserére nobis”, and the third time “dona eis réquiem sempitérnam”. At those Masses the priest does not strike his breast, and the kiss of peace is not given.

Bowing a little, the priest takes both halves of the Host in his left hand and slips the paten beneath them. Striking his breast three times with his right hand, he says the following three times in a slightly raised voice, devoutly and humbly:
