"that reward which He promised will be given to usby the Lord as a recompense"

What does exaudi laudate mean?
Exaudi is the singular imperative of the verb exaudire and means "Hear!"
Laudate is the plural imperative of the verb laudare and means "Praise!"
It's unclear why a single person would be instructed to hear while a number of people are instructed to praise.
(An alternative exists: Laudate is also the vocative singular of the past participle of laudare, meaning "O praised one," so that the phrase exaudi laudate could mean "Hear, O praised one." However, every single Google hit on the phrase "exaudi laudate" is for a piece of music whose title is punctuated as "Exaudi! Laudate!" which pretty much rules this out.)

How do you change a singular Latin word to a plural?
There are different ways to make different words plural.
You have to remember to make every adjective agree, and change every applicable verb into the "Ellos" form.
For most words that end in "a" or "o", just add S.
So like, La persona es alta = Las personas son altas.
Some words change like "lapiz"
Lapiz - Lapices
Or some that don't end in a or o, just end "es"
El pan - Los panes

The 'Ides' referred to the 15th day of the months of March, May, July, and October in the Roman calendar. The month of Marchwas named after Mars, the god of war. And so the 15th day was considered a festive time to dedicate activities in his honor. For example, a military parade was often held.
Perhaps the most famous historic occurrence on that day was the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar [July 13, 100 B.C. - March 15, 44 B.C.]. According to revered Greek historian and biographer Plutarch, Caesar was warned prior to the 15th by a seer to "Beware the Ides of March." Moments before his death Caesar mocked the seer saying, "Well, the Ides are come." to which the seer replied "Aye, they are come, but they are not gone." William Shakespeare [baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] wrote a play on the event.
