What does it actually take to bring a centuries-old Catholic procession through the streets of a Scottish city in 2026? Quite a lot, it turns out — including negotiations with the council, a plan for the umbrellas, a playlist and somewhere for people to pray. Jose Carias joins us this week to pull back the curtain on the meticulous behind-the-scenes work that goes into organising Aberdeen's Corpus Christi Procession, as the faithful walk from St Mary of the Assumption Cathedral to St Peter's Church. From choosing the sacred music to coordinating street closures, Jose walks us through every detail — the spiritual and the surprisingly logistical — that transforms a solemn act of public worship into a living, breathing event on the city's streets. It's a conversation that moves from the sublime to the mundane and back again because, as Jose reminds us, when Jesus comes to walk the streets, things have a way of getting complicated.

In this busy fast paced world, how, when and where do we find time to pray when we...don't have time to?

That's the lovely conversation between Emily Keyte, Rebecca Coyne and Henri-Pierre Koubaka with Paul Danon joining on the phone.

POV, POINT OF VIEW is an hour long program for Christians to have a conversation on a current topic of interest .
