Read Justin Martyr. He gives a description of the early Church services that are very much like today's Masses.

A grat book to read is "Four Witnesses" by Bennett.

I've read the letter that the ruling Catholic Fathers wrote in Acts 15.

It is NOTHING like today's Masses.

I don’t see it in the book of the Acts of the Apostles.

There is no record and there are no instructions in Scripture that describe the mass as it stands today.
