Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle such that $\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}$. Let $M, L, N$ be the midpoints of segment $BC, AM, AC$, respectively. The circumcircle of triangle $AMC$, denoted by $\Omega$, meets segment $AB$ at $P(\neq A)$, and the segment $BL$ at $Q$. Let $O$ be the circumcenter of triangle $BQC$. Suppose that the lines $AC$ and $PQ$ meet at $X$, $OB$ and $LN$ meet at $Y$, and $BQ$ and $CO$ meets at $Z$. Prove that the points $X, Y, Z$ are collinear.
