“Come, Satan!”
The expression is tracing paper from the Latin "vade retro, Satana", literally translated as "go away, Satan." So they say, wanting to express that they give up temptation, do not succumb to flattery and deception.
The phrase “come out, Satan” rises, as you might guess, to the biblical text, namely, to the Gospel of Matthew, in which he will sound twice from the mouth of Jesus Christ.
For the first time, Jesus pronounces them during his forty-day fast in the wilderness, tempted by the devil, addressing the human nature of the Son of God.
The second time Jesus turns his speech not to Satan as such, but to one of his disciples, the Apostle Peter, when he discourages him from going to certain death. The wording, in which he rejects the requests of the Apostle Peter, is designed to rebuke and make you think about what terrifies Peter and what he calls for.

Come, Satan, the speculator and master of all lies, the enemy of human salvation. Make room for Christ, in whom you will not find anything done by you; make room for the One, Holy, Ecumenical and Apostolic Church, but by Christ at the cost of His purchased Blood. Bow down under the almighty Hand of God; tremble and flee when we call upon the holy and terrible name of Jesus, from which hell shudders, to which the Powers, Powers and Powers of heaven humbly worship, to which the Cherubim and Seraphim constantly praise glory, calling out: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Such prayers are also called exorcist and are accompanied by appropriate ritual actions.
