Is this Mass valid?

I see where I got confused now
You’re right, it did not say that the Eucharist cannot be consecrated outside of a Eucharistic Celebration, but as per Canon Law, it is forbidden no matter what

I wonder why is it so? Is this just to make sure there’s no contrary law to The Last Supper? Or perhaps because in the first few years of the ministry of the Apostles, there was not structured Liturgical celebration. So the Law wouldn’t be contrary to history, but makes sure that going forward we do it the right way given were we are today with the celebration of Mass?

Actually, the Mass was not simply just the consecration in Apostolic times. Both the Didache and St. Paul’s First Letter to the Conrinthians give us a glimpse of what happened (sadly, his epistle was also the first documented case of liturgical abuse in the New Testament). Even at the Last Supper, psalms were chanted and the rituals were performed, only, in this case, they received their authentic fulfillment because the True Lamb of God was present and performed the rites himself.

But wasn’t what was done during the Last Supper more in line with Jewish traditions and rituals?

I always thought the Road to Emmaus was the first structured Mass.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass takes in elements of Jewish rituals, Contatine. The first half involves reading Sacred Scripture and chanting the psalms. Those Jews who could not go the Temple worshipped at the Synagogue and engaged in what we know as the Liturgy of the Word. Obviously, they did not have the Gospel proclaimed to them, unless you count the one time that the Word of God, Himself, proclaimed the message when He read the prophecies on the Sabbath.

The Liturgy of the Eucharist takes in the actual cultic sacrificial worship, only, in an unbloody manner. The sacrificial worship of Ancient Israel foreshadowed the sacrifice of the True Lamb of God, that same Sacrifice that unfolds before our eyes during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Incidentally, the vestments, the gold vessels, the priestlly ablutions and the incense werer all elements in the sacrificial worship of Ancient Israel. Jesus brought them to fulfillment at the Last Supper, in anticipation of His Passion, Death and Resurrection.

Emmaus was the second liturgy. By the way, we can say that the Liturgy of the Word was conducted during the walk to Emmaus. The Liturgy of the Eucharist happened at Emmaus proper. Incidentally, the Swiss Canons allude to this point.
