Show OMP' is similar to OMP:

I am not sure if there is not enough information, but upon graphing, the relationship holds. Even with arbitrary points M, P and P', the two triangle seem to be similar...?
Except I cant prove it.
All we know:
1. OM is shared (S)
2. angle MOP' is shared (A)
Aren't we are still missing one more relationship for the similar triangle proof?
EDIT: the radius, the center of the circle O and point P are fixed, but M can lie anywhere on the circumference, and P' can lie anywhere joining O and P within the circle.
