Diligite justitiam

Tiburtio Massaino’s SSATTB motet Diligite justitiam sets a passage from the Book of Wisdom, urging listeners to love justice and seek God with simple hearts. This sacred work is ideal for liturgical settings, particularly during Ordinary Time or services focusing on divine wisdom. Massaino’s rich contrapuntal writing for the five-part choir enhances the devotional character of the Latin text.
