Blessed are those who see divinity in you while you still wrestle with your suffering.
Haby Thomas
Luke Chap 23
39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ?
Save yourself and us!"
40 But the other criminal rebuked him."Don't you fear God," he said, since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong."
41Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."
42 Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."
Many acknowledged Jesus as Christ when they see Him performing miracles or anything that he does which common man can't do with his power. But that was just one of the faces of Jesus life while he was on the face of the earth. In there are occasions where we see the life of Jesus not as supernatural as many other instants; for example in his birth we don't see a royal provision, in his work as a carpenter we don't see a glorious profession. And finally at the cross we see Jesus helpless to get out of the cross. Those all moments he was Christ himself, only because he just obeyed the word of his Father he yielded to those sufferings.
Many others mocked at Jesus saying, "If you are son of God save yourself and prove that you are truly son of God".
But the other thief while Jesus was still on the cross, bearing the pain, acknowledging him as "Christ" who will bring forth his Kingdom.
The divine words came out of the mouth of Suffering Jesus while hanging on the cross," "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."
Today I am talking to some key leaders who are still going on the process of suffering. You might be recollecting those golden memories of awesome days when you did help, encouraged and healed many who came to hear your words about Jesus. But now you are in a situation where no one else can help you out. It's going on and on and on.
Many says "save yourself and prove that you are truly a good believer and God is with you"
But there are some blessed people who really acknowledge you as the true servant Of Christ Jesus even while you are suffering and they could see your future as blessed. I tell you my brethren they (those who still acknowledge you as who really you are) too will inherit those blessings because they receive this revelation even when you don't try to prove yourself as "the sent one"
Our sufferings are not to hurt us …
Our sufferings cannot take away the purpose of God in us…

1050 Euros is the salary assured to the successful candidates in Italy. Now, as per the latest info sheets being provided to candidates, an amount of 300 Euros per month (for accommodation and food) plus 50 Euros per month (for first 12 months) would be deducted from their salaries. So in nett effect, there would be a take home of approx 700 Euros. THAT IS WRONG. THEY MAKE 1050 NETT OF ALL DEDUCTIONS. THE ONLY DEDUCTION THEY HAVE IS FOR THE TICKETS AND IPASVI WHICH TOTALS 600 EUROS. THIS IS GIVEN TO THEM AS AN INTEREST FREE LOAN AND THEY WILL HAVE THE NECESSARY DEDUCTIONS ON THIS IN AN EASY INSTALMENT PLAN.
The older candidates claim that they had briefed earlier that 1050 would be the final take home after all deductions. Which is correct? THE ANSWER ABOVE IS CORRECT.
Are there any tax deductions from the 1050 euros? 1050 IS A NET OF TAX SALARY IN HAND. The only deductions would be on the IPASVI exam fees and the cost of the air ticket in easy interest free instalments ONLY AFTER THE CANDIDATE HAS ARRIVED IN ITALY.
In case of any exigencies / personal emergencies, would they be allowed to come home? YES BUT ONLY IN GENUINE CASES AND UPON THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE EMPLOYER.
Is there any scope for increasing their salaries during this tenure? THERE IS SCOPE OF OVERTIME BUT NO REAL INCREASES IN SALARY. THE WORLD IS IN RECESSION AND INFLATION RATES IN THE WESTERN WORLD NORMALLY RANGE BETWEEN 2-3% AT MOST. ALSO NOTE THAT THE SALARY STATED ABOVE DOES NOT INCLUDE OVERTIME. WHERE THERE IS OVERTIME THE NURSE ACTUALLY CAN EARN A HIGHER TOTAL INCOME.
Are the visas working visas or visiting or student visas? WORK VISAS.
Through the 'family reintegration' scheme, after a year a nurse would be permitted to take their family member along. Correct? YES AFTER ONE OF YEAR OF SERVICE THEY ARE ALLOWED FAMILY REINTEGRATION FOR SPOUSE AND CHILD. PARENTS AND OTHER RELATIVES ARE NOT COVERED
After they are registered, how long they have to wait for submitting the certificates?
The reason we have asked the candidates to first register and then send in their applications is because of 2 reasons:
We realize that once the applicants submit their original documents, they at times have to terminate their bonds with the current hospitals. This is not our intenTION. Therefore, we have devised this scheme so that when they are ready to submit the remainder of their documents, they may do so without losing their place in our database. Registration enables a candidate to get onto our database and give him/her priority when the time comes to submit the rest of their documents at the time of application.
We ourselves need some time to process the documents and do not want to sit on documents without them being processed so we are not asking for documents until the time is right.
Currently, we are processing a batch of nurses and once that is over, we will be ready to process the next.
In essence therefore, the earlier a candidate registers, the earlier he/she is able to proceed for application. This also enables those with LESS THAN 2 YEARS EXPERIENCE TO APPLY AND BE A PART OF THE QUEUE.
Is it necessary that they have to submit the Originals? Attested Xerox copies are not enough?
Yes, it is necessary to have the originals - attested xerox copies are not enough. It is for this reason we have made the above provision (Q 8).
The transcription (translation to Italian), we have to do or is done by the Embassy?
This is done by the Embassy and this charge is already included in the fee.
How much time does it take to go to Italy once the certificates are submitted?
Once the certificates are submitted it takes 6 months to go to Italy.
Any other documents required?
No other documents besides those listed on the information sheet are required.
